GL and GX trim Datsun 1200s used illuminated electrical switch knobs. For 1973 all USA 1200s adopted the illuminated knobs. B210 also used this as standard fitment in Japan and USA.

Contents

Overview

A variable knob was turned to progressively dim the lamps.

H70 Type: Green knobs with words and illumination.

Control Switch

A resistor rheostat was used through 1976. This produced significant heat.

This switch went in-between the lamps and Earth/Ground (B wire).

For 1977 a new active semiconductor rheostat was introduced, which required a 12V IGN feed, but is otherwise wired the same.

Australia

Australia 1200s use a two-position bright/dim switch built into the Lighting Switch. It is not a rheostat (variable). The knob is twisted (rotated) to use either bright or dim position.
