I hope you all are safe and well.
Trying to wrap up all the wiring connections. I have, based on my photos from 2 years ago and the wiring diagrams, all the wires connected correctly. However if I leave the running lights and headlights on for 5-10 minutes the housing on the headlight switch is almost to hot to touch. I really don't want to spend more money on a switch. Do you think that's what it is? Are they rebuildable? Thanks all! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |

If you want to go the relay way, this is the way that PMB, relayed the hi-beam, low-beam, fogs and horns on my car. Hella 4 position relay board and 4 position fuse panel.
