The '29 had bright and dim lights; so I assume the '30 did as well. The switch for the '29 was on the steering wheel (lever with also throttle lever). The dome light was a separate switch. The tail light was on same circuit as headlight. Originally headlight reflectors were plated silver which gave greater reflectivity than if it is plated with nickel. But; who can afford silver plating?
