September 29, 200420 yr comment_96810 Sounds interesting. Have you written up installation instructions yet? Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/13455-headlight-relay-upgrade-harnesss-for-sale/#findComment-96810 Share on other sites More sharing options...
September 29, 200420 yr comment_96818 Sounds right! and that's a good price. when I was planning this, it apeared that a $60.00 to $75.00 price was as low as I could get it out for. You must have found a good low price for the relays. good on ya!

September 29, 200420 yr comment_96830 The original headlight circuit on our cars is inadequate for the higher wattage headlights available today. It's barely adequate for the stock lights. The problem is that the full current travels through the combination switch itself which makes the distance quite long for for gauge of wire used. The improvement is to use relays such that a low current flows through the switch itself which in turn operates the relays which get the full current straight from the battery and send it right to the headlights.

September 29, 200420 yr comment_96832 Exactly. Your adding a separate circuit, for the main power to the headlights. No more big power through the dash harness and stalk switch. The existing circuitry will now only operate the relays, which is a very light load in comparison.

September 29, 200420 yr comment_96853 Very nice idea!! I may be interested in this down the road a bit (a headlight upgrade has been in the back of my mind since I got the car)...but would also require the installation instructions. If you have the instructions available now I'd really like to review them, can I get a copy?

September 29, 200420 yr Author comment_96870 Mike and Victor hit the nail on the head. but forgot to mention the fact that....1) no more blown headlight fuses and MELTED fuse holders in the fuse box.2) No more high current going through the head light and high beam switches will prevent them from burning out in the future. AND WE ALL KNOW WHAT A BITCH IT CAN BE TO REPLACE THEM OR EVEN FIND THE RIGHT ONE TO REPLACE THEM WITH, NOT TO MENTION HOW MUCH IT WILL COST YOU TO DO THAT.I'm in the process of writing the instructions up with pictures (yah!!) 1) Three grounding points using stock bolt locations2) one mounting point for relay pack3) plug in four oem molex plugs4) connect the power wire to the battery5) insert the inline fuse and your doneinstructions to follow in 2 hoursit is now 1:45 pm PSTDave Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/13455-headlight-relay-upgrade-harnesss-for-sale/#findComment-96870 Share on other sites More sharing options...
September 29, 200420 yr comment_96873 I am definitely in for this upgrade. The headlights have always been the weak part of my 240z. Thanks for coming up with this solution.
