<div class="moz-cite-prefix">It may have been the switch but as the
wiring harness was replaced recently it may have been a loose
connection.<br>
Inspect the loom carefully for molten/damaged wires along the line
especially when a bundle of wires are wrapped together.<br>
It is always advisable to use these old switches for operating a
relay that in turn will switch the headlights. The same goes for
any items using a fair bit of electricity, blower motor,
windscreen wipers, horns etc.<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">On a recent outing I noticed smoke
emanating from under the dash when the headlamps were switched
on. My 13 year old son thought we were going up in flames and
decided to walk home. With the lights off no more smoke or
burnt plastic smell occurred and I easily beat my son home. I
disconnected the what was left of the two red wires, no damage
to any other wires. The switch is the original Lucas unit for
a 1958 100-Six. Should I assume that it was the switch that
failed or should I be looking for something else. The harness
was replaced during the restoration but the switches were
kept.</p>
