From Jim Shea



Looks like the actual dimmer switch is going to be located down on the side of the column activated by a rod rather than in the column as part of the harmonica connector.

Dimmer switch will be down on the column near the harmonica connector. It's activated by a rod that goes up to the lever by the wheel. At the connector. LT-Green would be high beam, Tan will be low beam. Yellow is the power feed from the light switch
