Greg,
That tech note was about converting the original "WIPAC" 3 piece headlamps to a generic style sealed beam headlamp. The "WIPAC" headlamp had a separate lens and replacable main lamp with another small internal bulb which was used as the parking light. (or running light) This tech note covers how to cut up the original wiring, change the lower single filament turn signal sockets and the main bulb socket so you could use a generic "DOT" approved sealed beam headlamp (hi/low beams only) This modification required you to relocate the internal running light tha was originally part of the "WIPAC" lens assembly to the lower light fixture. (lower light fixture was originally just the turn signal). I believe you could purchase a retrofit kit from SPF at one time.
I don't see the tech note posted on the SCOF website. So you can send me an email and I'll be happy to forward it to you. And that goes for anyone else who is interested in this tech note or for information on my detailed wiring diagrams for their MKIII. (My email is below) Glad to see your putting my wiring diagram to use. Seams like lots of people apparently study these wiring diagrams during the winter...I Wonder Why?.....(SNOW & COLD MAYBE)
Steve - yours headlamp design I believe is different than Greg's...you may have the sealed beam from the factory? I think the feds made them change this - at least for a while??? Perhaps some original car owners can verify what type headlamps they have (sealed or replacable bulb style) along with their SP car #...
