Headlight relay options

Contact Dave Irwin and see if he can make you a plug and play for the 260.

If he does, you'll need to provide him with 2-3 stock 260 headlight plugs with about 3 feet of connected wire.

That's what he did for mine and it was a direct plug-in that took about 45 minutes to install.

Just chiming in again, and thanks again for the suggestions. I've looked over the directions on how to build these kits yourself, and it seems to me I'm a lot better off ordering something that will snap in and not have to worry about it. I think I'll start with the headlight kit first, and then get the kit for the dash and taillights. I'm assuming the headlights take more power and so will reduce the load on the switch the most. Am I right on this? I don't drive that much at night, but I noticed that the switches are spendy if they do burn up!

Most folks are scared of the wiring aspects and working with relays , but it is very straight forward and relays are very simple devices. The job can be made even easier by getting relays from a JY that already have wire leads coming from them instead of wiring your own ends into the relays. Most OEM relays are very robust and can be reused many times. I am using old ZX relays now for my ECU project .

When you total it all up, the circuit for the headlights on low beam and the circuit for the running lights (with the dash lights) each draw about the same amount of power.
