I am trying to locate a switch pack that works the parking lights on a 1970 Datsun 510 1600 SSS 4door saloon, like the one in the image below.
My car has the column shroud with a gap where the switch pack should be, so if I can locate just a switch thats fine, but if someone has the whole column shroud I'd still be very interested.
I realise it is a RHD JDM option but just hoping someone can help out here..?
My guess is that it would allow you to turn on the left or right side parking lights independently. Sort of a hazard feature. Mercedes Benz has had this feature on their cars for years.
This is an option that never came on cars here in North America - pretty cool, though.
I've only seen drawings of this panel, to be honest - I have never seen a photo of the actual switch. I have seen photos of the LH-only switch on cars delivered to Greece (Presumably all of Europe), but being UK and RHD, maybe this is a UK-only switch panel on the column.
For those that were not aware, it's for indicating side marker lights when parked on narrow lanes, illuminating only the lights that are necessary to save power.

Love people and use things,
because the opposite never works.

Thanks Byron! Does it flash them or just turn them on?
