Headlights

The wiring is trash, do a bank of relays... Trip relays with headlight switch and pull power straight from the battery

I agree but I use 2 relays, 1 high and 1 low. Independent circuits, triggered by the OE headlight switch with individual fused power leads straight off the battery.

When you say "trip relays" is that gangsta for triple, or a brand of relay or a style, or? I assumed triple, hence my explain of dub relays, or two, a pair, twins, tandem, etc

I think he means trip as in activate.

Yes, I refer to the factory wiring. Trip as in trigger the relays , not sure how that sounds gangsta... And yes you need a fuse and two relays as in a bank of relays. Old vans have a bracket you can use to mount 4 Bosch Factory relays to the drivers side fender, I'm using 3 of them high beam, low beam, and driving lights. Still have not decided where to use the last relay.
