Here is my two relay setup for 2bulbs

http://www.goodysgotacuda.com/Headlights.html




the same for 4 head ligts just that high beams position will drive 4 beams. Is easy for a single relay.

HOWEVER I still would take the power from alt stud or any point on alt side of power to get teh right reading on ammeter.


YES & using Nacho's advice of adding 2 wires to bypass the black/red main connection points at the bulkhead connector.

One more for this thread... what size of fuse are you guys putting between the alternator stud and the relays?

Thanks,
Darren




I'd have to look and get back to you on the size but mine has a fusable link and a fuse

I have a 15a low beam and 20a high beam fuse. Depends on what bulbs you are running. Mine are aftermarket H4's.

If you take the resistance of the low beam filament, then divide 14 (avg voltage while running) by your resistance reading, then multiply it times to (bulbs). You will get the amperage draw for the low beams. I'd go up to the next size to account for any surge. And do the same for the high beam. (high beam filament will be lower resistance than the low beam).

Example

Bulb resistance 1.5ohms (just a random figure)
Avg running voltage 14v

14v divided by 1.5ohms = 9.3a x 2 bulbs = 18.6a (i'd run a 20a fuse)

I'm doing this now and found this old thread in a goggle search, so I'm it.

Might as well add 1 for the running lights while you're at it.
