so, the H4 Headlight Upgrade Kit on pelican recommends a high-power relay for the 100 watt bulbs.
now the stupid question: do i just need one or do i need one for each headlight? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) Andy |

my thought on this is to use the current wireing to trigger relays to power the lights. So, when you turn the lights on, the low beam wires turn on the relay (you can use one for both or one for each side). Same with the high beams. You can buy a fuse block from FLAPS and run the necessary power to the fuse block. Run from the fuse block to each relay.
Low beam R wire to Relay applied power Low beam L wire to Relay applied power High beam R wire to Relay applied power High beam L wire to Relay applied power Battery or Stock fuse block + to fuse block Fused connection to relay LR,LL,HR,HL constant power Ground each relay This would keep the stock switch and High/low relay in play and not require a huge amount of rewire. If you lift out the tank, you can run the new power along the stock wireing loom and keep it low profile. Mounting the fuse block on the headlight bucket (below the tire cover) makes for easy access. A GT headlight pop up kit and you can lose another 5 lbs off the front of the car. Thoughts? |
