Wiring loom description.

[Paul Amey]

The Rimmers web site lists two headlamp wiring looms for the Vitesse MK 1 .  There is a choice between no pilot and with pilot. Am I right in assuming this refers to the main beam warning lamp ?

[Colin Lindsay]

No, the pilot lamp is a small bulb inside the main unit - Triumphs never had them, so no pilot. You can see the small pilot bulb to the bottom of this light unit:

Rimmers do some replacement headlights for the Vitesse with a pilot bulb incorporated in the reflector so I assume to use this would need the alternative wiring loom....

You can connect them into the sidelight circuit, not much use otherwise.

So, on Paddocks web site, headlamp loom BAU2110 just does the Headlamps where as JPV 575 Headlamps Bonnet Harness perhaps does the side lamps and indicators too?

[Colin Lindsay]

The BAU2110 loom is one headlamp only, the other is the complete full and dipped beam light harness for both sides across the entire bonnet. No sidelamps nor indicators, going by the photograph.

You need to speak to them telling them the type of headlights you have fitted and what you want. However I would guess JPV575 is all the lights in the Vitesse bonnet and quite a nice modification as it reduces the number of connectors exposed to the elements there.

Of course even better is the use of relays as used in the lighting upgrade kit offered by Rimmers...
