Anil , i send you the bitmaps about the headlite switch S1 and connector
with wirecode to your private e-mail. But this is standing on the DVD i send
you; look at the DVD driveletter:\classic\etm\webetm\129\start.html.
May be ther is a difference in buildingyear, so you must look that yourself
if it is not the exact connector.
greetings from the Flying Dutchmen SL500.
