Ed...this is tried & true

[QUOTE=Ed]Try insulating those relay wire components from heat. Also, replace your factory 4 guage ground wire, with a 2 or 1/0 guage cable, with a pigtail ground (sometimes two) to the body. You'll love the difference, immediate bright dash lights, headlights pure and bright white, including noticeably faster turn


a Mechanic friend of mine who's considered a little eccentric did this to my trusty old 95 Aerostar.....For th 1st time since i owned it, i had to turn down the "Brights" cause no oncomin' traffic thought I had em on before he #2 guaged & used soome kinda mesh insulation.......i'll send a pic of the set-up. Dash lights were a litle brighter, but the Blaupunkt stereo that was given to me, I couldn't even see it at nite.......now i can!!
