Headlight rings can be $$$, but there some lower ones on ebay right now.

I'm not a dodge guy but do know that those headlight rings in very nice shape can be costly also. I don't know if there is a place that can repair dented ones.

Did you find out how to make the parking lights come on with the headlights?
Guest- Guest
No i didnt look into it any further..I noticed that the old forum light up like donivan appeared to be instructions for a chevy and I have a A108? Is there similarities of the two? Will the turn signals just blink from on to off or do i need to put diff bulbs in the signals?

The easy way is for someone who has modified their wiring on their Dodge to post it. The other way is to figure it out. The front parking light has a dual filament bulb, a bright one for the turn signals and the other for parking lights. They are separate circuits. So if you pulled the headlight switch out and looked at the wires that are on the back of it, you would see 2 wires connected together that plug into it. That is the wires to the front parking lights. You want to hook those wires to the tail light wire. Maybe there is an empty slot next to the tail light wire that you can just move the parking light wires over to. (It would be easier if someone knows the color code for these wires so you know which wires to use.) But you can use a test light to find the right wires to use. And you can splice or solder the 2 wires to the tail light wire or use wire connectors. So this is a start for you,,,,,,let us know if you need more information. Those front parking lights coming on sure does change the look of the Van at night!
This is the Chevy headlight switch,,,,,Brown might be your tail light wire color also.

Thank you I am goin to do some investigating when I get off work tonight I got all weekend to figure it out...LOL as soon as I do I will relay the info to the sight for anyone else wanting to. Again thanks for the knowledge uall are the best!! Rat

Just some info...1970 is the only year that the parking lights came on with the headlights and this was due to the fact that 70 was the only year the A's had sidemarker lights.
George on the Yahoo group has done this "mod". He says it's easy. I myself have never tried it.
Hey Rat...do you have a factory wiring schematic to reference?

Guest- Guest
That would be great so if anyone else was interested they could see too. My email is dgood1972@yahoo.com if you have means to email them to me that would be greatly appreciated!! I did some lookin around over the weekend but got so caught up in cleaning her up I kinda got side tracked(Bright shiney object) so i have got to get back to it. I have never been so excited about pulling up old carpet except when I found A rust free floor all shiney and white!!!!

Installing a jumper at your headlight switch that connects the park lights to the tailights circuit fixes it up just right.
Makes for a better load carry for A's pulling a trailer, as this doubles the contacts used in the switch carrying that load.....
