i got the stuff to do it just cant be arsed lol! im only doing dipped beam as main is plently bright with the inner spots on.

probably going single relay for abosolute simplicity and im a lazy person. carry a couple of fuses and relays with me at all times so i should be fine and if all else fails ill drive it home on main beam.

if you use the small sub loom for the inner spots for connectors  in event of fail you can just unplug you uprated loom and put the main loom into just the outer lamps

Is anyone able to make one of these up? I'll happily pay! Or is the ebay special any good?

[sdall30]

And that was the reason for the post in te first place, I'm crap at electrics and can't make one up myself, I was wondering if anybody made them up for under the £36 that was being asked on fleabay

For that price you can barely buy good quality fused relays to do the job with.

It's yer headlights - they're kinda important and this is the best upgrade you can do on them.

How to Loom, before's and after's



That's running the loom on one side but not the other.



Most you'll need is 20A relays and wires if running 4 relays.

hey ben whet bulb's do you use for the inners ??

i see you got them on dip beam too 

[richard s]

so to do just the dipped beam i would nead 2 20a relays (fused) new live and earth for relays/original feed to relay instead of lamp
as for the new wireing what is the ideal mm cable and what sort of length is needed
cheers

that diode is a really bad idea. it'll light the full beam filament in the main headlight as well,  as in the spot.    also haveing spot lights on with dip beam will piss other road users off but full beam as will is really takeing the piss.

just as well that dioed will pop really quickly  it'll be trying to handel roughly 14 amps   the biggest commonly avalible black dioed is 3A

as for cabel size  100w x 4 = 400w.    400w @ 14.4 v  = 27A  id go for 2.5mm2 to carry the power.  and .75 will be more than enough to throw the relays
