the newer cars already use relays to swtich the lights.
I'm guessing a 99 Brava wouldn't ? Might be a idea to check before I rewire the car.
I'm going to give this a go anyway. I fancy the idea of making it myself because, well I like doing stuff myself. Thats half the fun, or a bit less than half, half the fun being the learning and planning a small part being the finished result.
I did a quick diagram, its not very good and probobally doesnt make much sense to anyone but me.
Not sure if its clear but I'm going to add the main beam to the high beam when thats on, but put it on a switch so I can remove them if I want. edit/ Just looking at some pics and it seems main beam comes on with high anyway, I checked it the other day and it seemed it didn't
I called in the scrappy quickly today and picked up a couple of bits, they let me have them for free, so thats a bonus.
The three red relays are 25a each, so they will do the three circuits.
I'm just puzzling over what to do with the headlight socket/plug it doesnt look very meaty or easy to beef up.
Anyone recognise the two connectors on this headlight, the bits between the two grey covers. Is the top one the heedlight connector and the bit below the motor to move the lights up and down ?
Still got some bits to find and some things to check, but I'm in for a mot on friday, so once thats out the way I can crack on.
