Headlight and wiring upgrade




Wiring upgrade used a typical automobile H4 Headlight Relay
Wiring Harness like this one. Headlights, at orange sockets,
connect directly to battery by relays. Hi- and Lo-beam relays
are controlled by low current draw from original headlight
wiring (male connector). This harness bypasses the high
current run through inside-the-car headlight switch and long
wire run lengths between battery, headlight switch, and
headlights. The initial car wiring started with an 18 circuit
universal wiring harness, GM style. Voltage at headlights
increased about one volt.



The reflective surface in the original headlights had tarnished.
Headlights were replaced with replica Lucas PL700 Tri-bar
headlamps with Sylvania 9003 Silverstar Ultra H4 bulbs.
Chrome headlight rims were also installed.
