dbbob Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Is there a Dodge Brother/Sister out there who can tell me how to correctly wire COWL LIGHTS for a 1924 DB business coupe? Do the cowl lights have a separate switch, or do they function with the regular headlight switch? Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nearchoclatetown Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 The Book of Information does not specifically mention cowl lights, not are they included in the wiring diagram I looked at. My GUESS would be they should be on whenever the headlights are lit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil 32DL6 Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 A few pictures I've seen of that year didn't have cowl lights...which probably is why they aren't in the wiring diagram Doug mentions. On my '32 cowl lights have their own steering column light switch position, which means they are off when the headlights are on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nearchoclatetown Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Cowl lights and nickeled grille shell is what makes a deluxe in '24. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete K. Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 I believe the deluxe also included bumpers that were also plated. The cowl lights as we call them have a single wire from the back of the CLUM switch running to each cowl light. The positive voltage side is the steel body mount at light. The clum switch lever will have one left detent labelled "PARK". This will light the cowl lights and tail lamp. The lever is moved to the right one detent for low beam, second detent will be high beams. Hope this helps--Pete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
