Hi everyone, I am wanting to, from scratch, rewire the headlights. I bought a rolling shell as a track project (nothing in it) and located the battery in the boot. Bare essentials! I know you need a relay and that it's got to be wired battery to relay, then relay to head lights. How do I wire the relay? Which pins go where? Can I use after market relay or do I need one from a zx? Can someone draw a diagram so all I need to do is go "ok anyone got this for sale then just wire it up". Also I read on one tech guide that their is a relay to destinguish high and low beams? I only need low beams as for twilight events, so how would I just have it for low beams or do I need the low/high beam fuse? What I basically need is for someone to say ok you need this relay and now take a posative wirer and connect it to pin .... Then from there you take the wire and got to ..... Ect. Cheers jess
All you will need is a simple driving light circuit. you can buy kits or make one up yourself. it uses a SPST auto relay. This diagram shows a switch with a inbuilt light thats why it has an earth wire connected to it. If you plan on using the Factory switch connect the supply and load wires to Pins 1 and 2 of the headlight switch pod. these wires can be small as they dont carry much current hence the 3amp fuse. Mount the relay close to the headlights so you can keep the large gauge wire to a minimum . It uses a common SPST auto relay. I would buy a plug like this to simplify relay replacement.
Sorry for the shit drawing but this should work fine. Forgot to add in fuses... EDIT: if you also want low beams just replicate the above. Its crude and you will have an extra switch but it will be drift spec lol
