FOR SALE - Plug and play Headlight Relay Kits
heres a premade kit from crackedback. plug n play and proven.
or - go study crackedback and slant six dan and nacho wiring diagrams, then make one. i did and its posted here in this forum somewhere.
so heres the deal. right now stock all the juice for the headlights runs thru the dimmer switch and the main light switch. Antoher thing is the foot dimmer switch is always involved - theres power there all teh time you just flip it from high to low. all that, combined with tired *** wiring. OK all that, combined with tired *** wiring, thats undersized. stock. its the minimum spec AWG.
after 50 years these wires are melted, wore out, brittle, etc.
what you wanna do is take one of the existing headlight sockets and you will use that as the feed/control to relays you will add. You will then supply new h4 headlight sockets and new wiring of thicker/proper AWG spec.
When you turn on your headlights via the usual dash control, the old socket will receive power as normal. However this will no longer drive a headlamp (s), it will only be used to throw the relays you added. the relays will be tied directly to the battery, and allow you to provide full (FUSED) battery power to the headlamps, and you will never have yellow lights again. They will be as bright as much volts as your battery will give them. This removes the burden of the stock headlight and switch wire path from having to carry the entire load needed to drive your headlamps - now all its doing is throwin a relay, which takes WAY less power to do, as opposed to driving headlamps.
further, the electrical load on the floor dimmer is also minimized, as all it does now is fire the low, or high, relay, as chosen.
one of hte best upgrades ive done on my car to be sure.
all props to slant six dan, crackedback, and nachoRT
