[Roadsters] Update: Instrument lighting

[Pat Horne]

Robb,

Try swapping the GL and RY wires on the headlight switch. I couldn't 
find a diagram of the switch operation,
so this is based on the fact that the 67.5 and later cars turn off the 
parking lights when the headlights are on.

If you try the headlights, you should find that they don't work in the 
headlight position either, but do in the parking light
position. If  the headlights work correctly, check the tail lights to 
see if they stay on in both positions and get back with me.

Please also let me know which pins are connected to which in each 
position of the headlight switch.

Peace,
Pat
