A lot of guys ask about how to wire in the floor-mounted headlight switch with ISIS in their car. One of our customers building a 1967 Cougar asked this exact question today.
There are two different ways that you can wire this switch.
One way is to use the switch to control inputs to the MASTERCELL. Check out "Wiring Headlights and High-Beams" on page 28 of the new manual for more details. Connect the high-beam input to what was the power feed for the switch. The connection to the low-beam input should connect to what was the high-beam terminal on the switch. The third terminal of the switch is unused.
The other way only uses one output from the front POWERCELL for headlights and high-beams. Connect the white output from the front POWERCELL to the power input terminal switch on the floor. Then connect the headlights and high-beams to their respective terminals on the switch. When you turn on the headlights, you get power to the front bulbs. Hitting the switch on the floor will switch from low to high-beams. The biggest benefit of doing it this way is that you save the high-beam output to use for something else.
