Headlight Relay System
Does anyone have a part# or source for the relays in the tech article on this subject by Erik Marquez? The DPST relays seem to be rare (Dual Pole Single Throw) Or how to contact Erik.
Thanks For any help.

I think you can use a standard Bosch type relay for this (SPDT). The diagram shows the current flowing out of the relay to the headlights from 2 seperate terminals on the relay (low beam relay blue wire, high beam relay pink wire). You can use a standard Bosch relay and just connect both wires to the terminal marked 87 (light normally off until you activate the relay then it is on).
Very common relay, most cost less than $10.

This site gives a good basic description of how it works.

Thanks guys, I kind of thought it could be done that way but was afraid I might be over looking something. You know kind of like not being able to see the forest for the trees. I know I am probably the only one who has ever had that problem, LOL.
Thanks again.
