Topic: Question for Supereal (Headlight Relay)

  I will be going to my local Tractor Supply store to get the 4-post 6-volt solenoids to assemble the relay board from the drawing you graciously provided. I fully understand the wire connections on the drawing however since the power to my headlight switch is supplied by the circuit breaker, do I need to make any modifications in that area? I don’t think I need to but wanted to confirm this. Many thanks.

  No need to worry about the stock system, as it only needs to accuate the solenoids. I set up the relay board with bullet connectors so it can be inserted in the stock harness at the left front fender. The large solenoid input terminals are interconnected, and are powered by a direct connection to the battery. I use a 40 amp fuse because I have halogen headlights. Use at least a #10 wire for that part of the system. The relay board actually relieves the headlight switch and the dimmer switch wiring of most of the load.
