Making progress on the wiring. The voltage regulator is installed and wired up, and the alternator is wired up, but I decided to increase the output cable size from 8 AWG that came with the kit to 6 AWG fine strand cable. I have a 120 amp alternator, and 8 gauge wasn't going to cut it. I ordered the 6 gauge cable and lugs online, and they should get here by midweek.
I added Weatherpack connectors to the stop-turn-tail lights, the reverse lights, and the front side markers.
The headlight switch is wired up. As I was routing the headlight wires to the front yesterday, I thought about using the two wires (hi-beam and low-beam) as activation wires for headlight relays. So, this morning I did some searching online, and found this really well built headlight relay kit.
It will allow full battery voltage to be sent directly to the headlights, resulting in maximum brightness. Uses nice quality Hella waterproof relays. While its not cheap, I think its a good investment, and I don't mind paying a little more for safety related stuff. While I'm at it, I'm also going to upgrade to H4 headlights.
