My cub came to me with no headlights or headlight wiring. It is a 50's cub.

Bob - I emailed you offline a sketch I made of the backside view of the 3-position light switch all wired up.

the resistor terminal is for the rear light for dim the second pos on the sw will make the rear lite dim on the third pos is bright the resistor cuts the volts for the rear lite to be dim while the fronts are still on bright
