MG MGB Technical - Headlamp Switch

Went to turn my headlights on and lo and behold the switch just fell apart on the floor. Before ordering and installing a new switch I need to "hot wire" my headlights (she is a daily driver). I'm not concerned about parking lights coming on first and then headlights, just the whole deal, so until I get the proper headlight switch, I want to use an "off-on" toggle switch. Since I haven't had a chance today to pull off the steering wheel cowling and sort it out, can some save me the time and tell me the proper wires to wire into a toggle switch to get my headlights back.

BTW - It's a '77 B

Thanks,

Brown on one terminal, blue and red/green on the other terminal. These are the wire that attach to the switch. Clifton

Clifton,

Thanks. That's just the info I was looking for. I'll pull the cowling today if I get a chance wire her up, without having to search around for the right combo. Looked up a headlamp switch last night, it's like $25 OUCH!!

Again, thanks.
