Driving lights -operation?
Tom,

Here are some notes that I saved some time ago. Hope this helps. Please keep
us posting on your project.

First note:
Alan there is a switch that the light has to touch to turn the light on. The

light can be adjusted to hit it. If the cylinder is bad it is a Clippard.
Mine is an SDR-20-3 & I got two new ones for sixty dollars for both. That
made
mine work fine after I adjusted them to come the whole way down. I don't
think you can repair them.

Second note:
These lights to operate.
Dash Switch ON
Headlights Must be on
High beam must be on
Coach must be at ride hieght.

If The lights won't lower check micro switches mouted on light
brackests.
Air control valves are under the front electricial panel.
And of course last of all the air cylinders.
The bulbs are replaceable, as for as the lens????
Good Luck
