    I have a set of centercaps you can have for free if you PM me your shipping info , I replaced my spoked wheels with turbines and I still have the caps , I think one is cracked , but it will be better than none .

    Where is the dial at when you are trying to use your high beams , the sensitivity for the auto dim is adjusted with the right hand dial on the headlight switch
    the autolamps dial is in the center of the min and max same with the dimmer in dimmer range not on max or low. do the highbeams come on by themselves i dont think so i thought they just shut off when someone comes toward you. sendign you a pm with my shipping info.

      The sensor on the mirror is very sensitive , try putting your hand over the front of it and putting the high beams on and see what happens and let me know , I just went through a problem with mine a few weeks ago .

          The high beams only turn themselves on or off after you turn on the highbeams. Hope you don't have issues with that, cause you're looking at a pretty penny for one of those headlight switches new.

            $125 for the one that goes in my Mark 6. That's the lowest price I could find. Most want around 200-250. If he's got autodim, then there should be like 3 knobs behind the headlight switch... the main knob and then two small levers poking out... set them both up top together to turn autolamp and autodim off. autodim is on the right... autolamp (turns the headlights on when it gets dark) is on the left. from your pics... it looks like autodim is pretty far down the way. put it up near min and the highs should stay on.

              Yes this exactly , my car was not allowing the high beams to come on at all with the autodim function on just as he described .

              My problem was the sensor on the mirror , thankfully I had a half dozen of them lying around , It took me three tries t find one that worked .

                    Yeah the lever on the right of the switch should be all the way 'up'. I dislike it strongly, you'll bumb it with your hand and poof! No brights when you click. I'd happily disconnect it if I knew how.

                    Cool beans on the car! If you can't find a good seat I'd check with a shop. If it's only the one panel it may not be a lot to repair.

                      Wait, so the autolamp feature has a thingy that makes the high beams not come on?

                          Some TCs were equipped with not only Autolamp but "Autodim" It allows you to put your high beams on and they turn off when an oncoming car approaches (and then turn back on once it passes). There is a distance control on the headlight switch, and a sensor mounted on the rear-view mirror. My 79 Continental had it and I know it was available until at least 1993 as my Grandfather's 93 TC Cartier had it.
