i'm looking at the classicgarage.com website that ice recommended for the hella relays. do we need the 30 or 40 ones? i think they're talking about amps? don't know.

 

i think ice said he bought 30 amp ... but I'd wait for his response 2 this thread ...

 

Hey Serin...I just checked one of my old PM and he stated 30 ampers.....How much are they..I have to order so when the clip comes in I can install.

 

ice's writeup says $20 delivered for the pair.

If you want to wire the highbeams like Ice's diagram, get the Hella relay that comes with a fuse mount built-in. That way you don't need to add an in-line fuse coming off your battery.

give it try and if it works supply it for the other .orgY members

 

 

Why do we need a relay again?

 

If you wire the highbeams like IceY2k1 shows, there is a slight leakage that allows the high beam indicator to light. Also, there is an increaded voltage drop when the circuit includes the light switch.

Wire the highbeam as follows:

Tap off battery (14 gauge wire for minimum voltage drop). Run this new wire to one of the contact sides of the relay (if you use a Helly, it would be 30 or 87). From the other side of the relay go to either wire for the high beam. The other high beam wire goes to a body ground.

For the other two terminals for the relay (85 and 86) tap into the power side of the current headlamps (P/B or OR/B wires) connect the other terminal to the highbeam ground ((L/W or LG/B depending on side).

When you switch to highbeams, the relay will close and highbeams light.

I will be looking through the theft alarm circuits to see how to wire high beams only.

 

Man .... we have 2 consolidate this information in one thread ... this is getting 2 damn complicated looking @ both sites & then all these other threads ...

Is this possible?

 

It'll be even better if someone puts this in the sticky thread (How To).

Anyone can do this... hint hint

 

got off the phone with daveb today and he mentioned that he'll be stocking some nissan oem relays very soon, like a couple days. i don't know if they'll serve the same purpose but just thought i'd toss that in there.
i'll be checking ice's hid writeup later on tonight to see if there's an update for the relay install.

 

the thing is ... neither of the 2 big ... or should we say kiddies .. sheesh ... innovators have a final version that is absolutely trouble free ... that's why all these other posts keep popping up ...

Serin ... do u mean the plug connectors or the 30 amp relays?

 

the relays. i've already installed with the plug connectors that daveb supplied and we were talking on the subject of relays when he mentioned it.

 

oh .. how much are the OEM's?
