Has anyone ever uprraged an L-body high beam switch to the late model type with the extra hot lead so that you have the "flash -to-pass" feature?

I asked over on T-D.com and got NADA. I looked at some Neons at the boneyard, and they don't use an actuator rod, like the older
T-D's do.

Did maybe Spirits or something have this feature and still have the rod actuated switch like the earlyier L's?

Someone has had to have done this mod to an L-body by now. Moding L-bodies been going on for a bunch of years now.:)

Thanks,
Bill

Are you talking about the visual horn? Do L-bodies not have this? Every TD I have owned has had it. You pull back on the turn signal stalk part way and it flashes the high-beams. Pull hard and the high-beams stay on. Maybe your switch is shot.

Wow, didn't know that. Maybe my switch IS shot.

Mine certainly doesn't do that (I don't think). Will check tomorrow morning.

Never heard it called a visual horn. LOL

Thanks,
Bill

Nope, just checked, mine doesn't do that. My car is an 83, though. Myabe a later model switch would work. I will check into that. Thanks for the input!

My S.C. is an '87, only clicks high or low. It's also the 2nd S.C. I've owned that had the turn signal not stay on for left hand corners, you have to hold the lever down.:mad:

I don't think mine did it, but I never really thought to check either, I just assumed it didn't :)

All of my cars do that: My '04 Cavalier, my '01 Ram, and my '93 Duster. I think your switch is a pile.

Pretty sure none of the L-body's got that (90's may be the exception). Remember, these were one of the first cars to have the high beams activated by the stalk instead of the button on the floor that most of the older cars had.

Both my 84 Daytona and my 85 Shelby charger do not have the flash to pass.

I wish they still put it on the floor.
