Re: Headlight Relay Upgrade

Just for the record,I'm completely illiterate when it comes to auto electric,but this is something you can do!
I did it on my '80 with stuff I either had or bought from napa.

P.S.I would have used shrink wrap on the yellow connections,but I didn't have large enough tubes at the time.

*edit*The single 10awg wire comes from the firewall bulkhead(on an 80,I believe 72 and earlier are on the core support).That wire runs through a 30amp breaker(if something goes wrong,the lights will flash on and off,unlike a fuse which will be a daaaarrrrkk ride).From there,I split it off into to bright and dim relays.
