Was going to mention this in the LED headlight thread but then thought it may be a hijack.
The BusDepot has good deals on the Cibie E-code copy ($35/pr) or Hella E-codes ($70/pr) plus bulbs. http://www.busdepot.com/nl910ch4/ (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/cdn.busdepot.com-26-1467043928.1.jpg) |

QUOTE(toolguy @ Jun 29 2016, 01:45 PM)  Don't forget the factory wiring is a single lead which is jumpered over from the drivers light to the passenger light.. The factory lights were 35w or 45 w bulbs. Therefore the lead from the factory relay to the drivers side light carries double the watts/amps. At 12vdc and 100 watt bulbs, that is right at 8.5 amps. . . . double that for two lights and your at 17 amps; which requires a minimum of 16 gauge wire to go 7 feet or 14 gauge to go further. You'd be better off to run 2 16 gauges - one to each light .Of you use a single relay it would need to accommodate a minimum of 20 amps.. . The really safe bet is to use two standard relays, each with it's separate circuit to the lights. Both relays powered by a single isolated circuit 20 amp fuse. ...and that's why I went LED. These are a great deal, but I didn't want to do any mods to the wiring harness etc no matter how minor. |
