So I was finally able to finish up the lighting upgrade on the polara. It involved getting a custom headlight harness made by Rob Yule that included a third relay to run the superlite directly off of the alternator. I used headlights spec'd out by @slantsixdan at Daniel Stern Lighting. I also...

On top of getting the superlite in and working there was a bunch of other work that was completed over winter on this polara. One being new rear springs with a 1" increase in height as well as new tires. The car was also aligned. below are some pictures I took to illustrate how the beam...

Superlite

similar thing happened to me. Sorry for your loss

I dont know how the 69's are wired, but for the 70's the super light should only be able to come on with the headlight switch turned on, superlite switch on and the dimmer switch in the "high beam" position. the head lights can be on with the key off. And since the the super light is fed by...

For using modern relays you can get all the necessary components from the theelectricaldepot.com. You will need 2 of their 5 prong relay connectors, one SPST relay, one SPDT relay. and their associated terminals. If your harness is set up for the original relays you can easily make an...

The engine bay side was a flat terminal, similar to the one used for the pink wire that powers the super light relay. So put that terminal on one end of the wire and put it into the connector that attaches to the bulkhead. Then just string the wire along the inner fender up to the super light...

Next the wiring harness can be made. These terminals are Packard 56 style, I got mine from the theelectricaldepot.com. I got the differing colored insulated wires from amazon. Page 8-84 of the FSM shows a very good wiring diagram on how to make the harness: To power the super light relay I ran...

Okay, I got everything figured out and it is working! so here it goes: To start this off I removed the radio bezel and radio. I unbolted the column a bit to make it easier to get switch panel and radio bezel out. It would also make it more comfortable to remove the front seat. I did not. I...

alright well I got everything installed and ran into a couple issues. First the superlite wouldnt light and I dont have low beams anymore. Well I found out I had a grounding issue with the superlite so I got that to work: but I still dont have low beams. After looking into it I found out...

I was going to document everything in this thread, trying to keep everything in one place! Thanks for that! I believe Dave said somewhere here (or in an email) that the switch for the superlite on convertible cars would go in that position. I do have what I believe is an original wagon face...

okay, I got the car out in pittsburgh and I think the next couple weeks I will be working on wiring up the car for the superlite. I know dave just replaced the entire harness, but I dont think it will be that intrusive to just adapt the harness that is already in the car. A lot of stand alone...

Thanks for this information!! I am going to be bringing my dads polara out to Pittsburgh for the winter and make a add in harness for the superlite. the lights already in the car, I have the switch, and the two relays. I will be referring back to here for updates and questions.

Good Looking Ride!

I'm Still waiting on that yard to get time to get me the wiring out of the Monaco you sent me the lead on Wyatt

Depending on how "original" youd like to go, I got a locking one for my 68 Dart from pep boys, it was Stant brand. I found years ago one for my 70 charger on ebay. I had to modify the cap on the car a little bit to get it to work, but with the cap closed you cant tell. Stant has one for a 74...

Yea something there looks screwy... a pulley may also be bent, so keep that in mind. but keep us appraised with what you find

I ran into some pulley issues with the charger and on my one dart. I know when it comes to big blocks you have to make sure you have the right pulleys and brackets all around. Depending on the water pump housing (identified by a casting number) you would get different power steering pump...

That is looking good! I need to get mine wired up and hooked up. However I have to make my own harness, unless you have a spare one...? With talks I had with slantsixdan there really isnt a modern replacement for this bulb. But what he was able to do was to take a H3 bulb and mount it to an...

Just finished reading the entire thread, this is awesome!! following and cant wait for progress photos. Keep up the good work!
