 Re: Headlamp relays for halogen bulbs James, one of these will do the job. < http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/NEW-Circuit-Teste ... 1152wt_704 > Btw, watch out for the sharp end when you're using it to find which wire needs to be cut...  ken Jameswallace wrote: relays are arriving at the end of the week, so im going to be fitting them, where do you suggest i wire them in, near the battery, or at the headlamp bar end?
if i do it at the battery end, which wires is it, as theres millions to choose from adn i dont want to be cutting and re conncetiong 10 wires before i find the right one, (unless there is no other way?)

Re: Headlamp relays for halogen bulbs Jameswallace wrote: toomany2cvs wrote: Old-Nail wrote: If I fit the halogens without relays for the time being am I risking armageddon or no? Possibly, possibly not. Does the switch get warm currently? I'd make one small change to the wiring diagram at the end of the link Ken posted...  I'd put the fuse between battery & relay, not t'other side. As for the fuses, a normal spade terminal fits perfectly onto the leg of a modern-style blade fuse. any tips as to the colours of those wires? i will look in the haynes manual, but worth an ask so they arrived today, goign to fit in next few days, just to confirm, as ive not looked at a proper wiring diagram since junior school when i was dangerous with a soldering iron and wiring diagrams, (with all symbols,) the symble with 85 is an earth just to check

Re: Headlamp relays for halogen bulbs done, very easy, and i used the old dim dip connectors from my old loom with a bit of modification, and it all works  :D:D
