The American spec Spitfires, and Heralds, natch' will have the foot dipper
switch, to conform to US standards of the day. The main lighting switch is
the stalk on the column, and the instrument lights are the knob on the
dash.
The British spec has the main light switch on the dash, and instrument
lights are part of that circuit- it is a 2 position pull switch- first is
parking, then a twist/pull and headlights come on. The dipper switch for the
British version is on the column, and this is the one Haynes represents.
For the US, there will be three wires coming out of the stalk switch- should
be blue with a colored tracer- Red goes to parking lights, white is to
dimmer switch, and solid red is power feed.
>From the dipper, one is sistered with a thinner wire for high beams, and the
other is low beams.
Something close to that there... I don't have my US wiring guide handy
