Does anyone know where the diagram that Royce has floating for headlight upgrade?? I am going to pull my finger out tomorrow and give it a crack.

Cheers

Rusho

P.S I did a search and it failed

[Scrawny]

It failed or you failed?

halfway down this thread is the diagram... http://auszookers.com/index.php?name=Fo ... ht+upgrade

[Rusho]

Thanks gents. I might wait till I get my spotty's from Mr.Fat and do it as one bigger project as per the diagram.

Just wire it all up now, then it's just a case of fitting the lights. Tell Mrs Rusho that it's an important safety issue, that way she won't think you're trying to dodge changing dirty nappies

If you get stuck post up and we can all ridicule oops I mean help

If anyone ever finds a decent source of headlight plugs and the male version of them (so a plug that plugs into a normal headlight plug) let me know and ill knock up a heap of upgrade looms

I'm sure once he finds out prices and availability he'll let us know

I think ive found everything to make it simple unplug headlights, plug the adaptor into a standard headlight plug, plug the new plugs into your headlights, run a wire inside for the spotlight switch and hook up power to a battery

all up made to fit should be under $100 I think

Sweet it will be worth the money so I don't drive myself Tryin to nut it out myself

if i can figure out the headlight wiring anyone can. I'm a numpty when it comes to wiring

[Rusho]

Righto...Just to clarify something. I only need to remove (for argument sake) the drivers side plug off the headlight to upgrade the loom, correct?? Passenger side stays untouched and left as original?

[royce]

no, you are powering both lights via the relays, so you run new wire from relays to headlights, you only need to get a trigger supply from one headlight though

So the passenger side plug will just flap in the breeze so to speak

[Rusho]

Further more, aren't the relays suppose to be earthed The diagram doesn't really show it to be so. I know mine currently has a loop coming out of it to the body. I am going to tear all this out tomorrow and start fresh anyway. Your diagram had better be legitimate royce

[Rusho]

Fuck I despise auto electrics

relay gets power to switch the coil via the stock plug and then earths back through the stock plugs which travels to the dipper switch and earths under the dash somewhere

Dont let it get you down, if its any consolation, most home, industrial, high voltage Electricians cant understand what the hell is going on either, you wanna see what happens when some of em try and fit an alarm or stereo

Ill take your word for it....we'll see if this is coily proof tomorrow

[Rusho]

It will all be good. I'm just starting from scratch and following your diagram...can't go wrong

[Rusho]

Would you fuse a starter relay Royce?? If so with what size?
