Re: Headlight Upgrade

If you are running Halogens that use an H-4 or similar bulb I'd seriously suggest installing relays and connecting that harness to the relays and the wires from the dimmer switch to the relays. That saves a lot of switch problems. You can mount the relays right on the core support next to or in the same area the original regulator was in and then can place the relays so your harness reaches. The original wires should handle the load to the relays without an issue as it takes very little amperage to trigger the relays.

77 C 30 dualie, 454, 4 speed with a 10 foot flatbed and hoist. It does the heavy work and hauls the projects around.
