Re: Instructions for Midget Glo-Lite
I'd guess it had no switch. You could connect it to either of the headlight terminals on the firewall terminal strip so that it would come on when either the high or low beams were turned on, or to the tail light wire, so that it would come on whenever the lights were switched on. Earlier cars with magneto lights would require a different approach, I'd think.

Re: Instructions for Midget Glo-Lite
Since its an indicator if the "headlights lights are on" then wire to the taillight post on the terminal block. That way it would be turned on when the switch was in the DIM or ON position for headlights. If just "Headlight" as in "not DIM" then to the #6 position (says Bright in the diagram) on the terminal block.

Re: Instructions for Midget Glo-Lite
How can I replicate the cord part?…….Do you have any closeups of the metal sheath?
