Electrical question - headlight relay needed?

[RICK LAKE]

lal Naja Art My CJ5 jeeps all have high low headlight switchs from the factory. They are floor mounted. They are hit with mud,underwater, snow, salt, and stepped on about 500 times. Lighting in a CJ is poor with only, get this,a 37amp Alt. They all have relays also. I think the switch is tuff enough to take the spike hits but IMO adding a relay is a better, safer, way to go. I would see if you can find a heavy duty switch. This would be in medium duty trucks for low beam, high beam switching. How many terminals are on your switch, 2 or 3?? If 2 it's just a single feed curcuit, if 3 terminals this one sends power out on 2 different curcuits and cuts off the other one. It depends on the headlight wiring. Some cars run either low beam or high beam only. Other cars run low and high beam at the same time. Old sytle lights this is fine. The new Halogens will cook wiring and melt lamp housings or any plastic thng in the area without a vent to cool the lamp. The new Zeion lights are great for repair shops. We get between 2 -4 hours to rewire the curcuits on burnt out harnesses. Lastest was 1,400.00 dollars and 6 hours of work. The kid wanyed the car to look cool. Rick L.
