Headlight Relay<\/strong><\/span><\/h1>\n

Earlier I put in a bunch of relays. You can see that on this page\u00a0Relays<\/a>\u00a0. Two of them were for Low and High beam lights.<\/p>\n

<\/a>
\nHere are the relays I bought. They are knock off Bosh 87s.<\/p>\n

<\/a>
\nFirst I had to find which wires were used for High and Low beam. I used a video from Satchel McQueen Click<\/a>\u00a0and took a screen grab of when he identifies the wires.<\/p>\n

<\/a>
\nI added a small fuse box. The white fuses are 25A and are for the headlights. The yellow fuse is for the horn. I have already connected the feeds from the relays on the left hand side of the fuse block. I then cut open the wire harness that feeds the original headlight switches to the headlights.<\/p>\n

<\/a>
\nI then cut the two wired. I soldered the two wires coming from the switch into the relays.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

I put ends on the other half of the original wires and plugged them into the fuse box.<\/p>\n

<\/a>
\nAfter that I just taped up the wire harness.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

This is the circuit that was built. One for high beam and one for low beam.<\/p>\n
