Look what I made!

[...joe]

ahh i wouldn't mind a how to. purely because i've been too lazy to do this myself! the shopping list is a good start but where do you attatch what to what?
i assume the positive and negative go straight to the battery but where are you attatching this loom to the headlight switch?

[Mr Blue]

looking good solo.

Joe have you seen the matey-matey diagram?

[...joe]

i read about it but never bothered to look at the diagram................soooooo lazy!! is it pretty straight forward then?

I shall be making up looms to sell in the next week. once I've found out how much the plugs are for the lights I can make the whole loom plug and play. even a muppet can't connect this wrong.

Once i've found out the cost of the these plugs I'm hoping the cost will be about ?15-20 for the looms to you.

The looms will be made up so installing them is as simple as pluging the loom onto your lights, the old loom to the relays and the relays to the battery + and -. this will all be done without cutting your existing loom or having to solder anything.

btw, my headlights are awesome now

[...joe]

good to hear it all worked out! i may get off my ass to do mine or if i remain as lazy as i currently am i'll buy one off you!

[Dizzie]

well I've looked into the cost of the bits to make them and we're looking at a 'deluxe' kit featuring proper connectors for the bulbs for ?20 and a standard setup which will feature 3 connectors to plug onto the bulb for ?15. They both work exactly the same, just the deluxe one can't be connected wrong to the bulbs. Obviously the standard one will  come with clear instructions on how to wire it.

Once I've got a few orders I'll buy the 50m reels of wire to make them up.

hmmmmm i may be interested in this, standard lights am I right?
as i think mine are pretty crap

[Dizzie]

yeah Rob that's right. it'll improve your standard lights and also let you run more powerful 100w bulbs which are brighter still without melting the wiring loom.

i used 30 amp fused relays(7.99 from halfords).looks a bit tidier than an inline fuse.also if you have 1 in line fuse to both realys and the fuse blows you have lost all lighting.if each relay has a seperate fuse if one blows you still have the other lighting circuit.

the link above is a good source of information.much more comprehensive than the matey matey one.
