headlight delay relay for 70&71 e-bodies

[knickerbocker57]

if you`ve ever noticed a double bright green wire with a black open plug at the end of it and did`nt know what it was for? it`s for the headlight delay.it`s located behind the drivers side kick panel.here`s the good part,many 69-71 newports,imperials had that option so the relays are`nt that hard to get.all you need is the relay which is located above the steering colum shaft behind the dash,also get the wiring that is connected to the relay you`ll see that it has the matching plug wire that goes behind the kick panel.i`ve done this many times starting in the 80`s.sometimes the relays are bad so get an extra one.oh yeah the delay stays on for about 25 seconds after you turn off the lights,usually it`s turn of the ign swith then the lights.why the e-bodies have the wiring and not the option i don`t know.let`s make this a topic,this is one for the mopar gods.

I have heard of that before. I think I read something about it on Barry Washingtons website. I thought it was an option on Challengers. Maybe it was one of those things that was in the literature but didn't make it into production.

One thing I had NOT heard of before was the trunk mounted cigarette lighter but it was apparently an option. I saw a picture of one on Moparts awhile ago.

thats interesting, especially when they do come with the interioir light delay option already.
