MG TD TF 1500 - TA headlight solenoid

hello all listers. I know this is a long shot but I am after a solenoid that dips the head lights on a TA tickford. normally one light dips down and the other goes out, I want both to dip and stay one. I have one working but require another. Can any one help, there must be a few around as most people convert to sealed beams or the like. any help will be appreciated. Regards to all Adrian Wells TA2870 TD

Not sure if your TA switches are wired like the TDs, but I'm wiring the "low beam" (my very bright HID headlghts) to the headlight switch, and wiring a set of driving lights to switch on with the dipper switch for brights. Switching to brights will switch on driving lights while headlights stay lit.

Your can wire #1 BLUE wire into the dual snap connector #2 BLUE RED for your dims. For your bright filaments, you'll need an extra hot wire from maybe ignition switch "A" #36 or ammeter #37, jumpering to the dipper switch #1 BLUE.
