Look what I made!
« on: 06 February 2005, 16:05 »


1 uprated headlight loom.? :cool: Have to wait a few hours now for it to get dark and I can try it out.

If anyone wants me to write a 'how to' then I'll list what you need and how to do it.

right boys. your shopping list: (bought from halfords)

3 reels of wire. 17AMP, but rated at 210w @ 12v in black, red and blue - ?2.49 x 3
2 30AMP relays. Probably get them cheaper from RS or maplins, but from halfords - ?4.99 x 2
assorted heatshink (to do a proper job) - ?1.09
and whatever method you want to attach the live and earth wires.

if you guys are interested in such a loom made with love and care like mine. everything insulated, etc. then I'm thinking of making up a batch. I shall be researching parts costs from maplins tomorrow so hopefully I can make them up and sell on as cheap as possible.

Also the completed kit will be a plug and play affair. no cutting or soldering required.

interested?

sounds good, but ive already got the bits for the simple loom, and i can do it myself. you should get quite a few orders i would have thought. so do you need a 3rd relay to do the inner spots :huh:

nope, they piggyback the mainbeam's connection. I just cut those off my loom lol. I used the sleaves on the uprated loom.

Dizzy, its worth it, I did this before I went Xenon and it did make a big difference, I could actually see where I was going.

Talking about headlights, HID's ?:smiley: The light output is amazing, in the process of making a custom projector in a 7" round headlight. Hopefully will get more pics up.
