Electrics - Headlights


Tonight I tried to wire up the headlights.  The dipped and main beams work by relays due to the high current drawn.  The relays have a feed from the fuses, and the coil is activaged by switching the negative (i.e. the switch grounds the feed through the coil which activated the relay.

The main beam has a cable in the dash bundle of wires for the telltale light.  I wired this into the LED on the savage switch so that it turns on when the main beam is activated.

The dipped beam doesn’t have a telltale so I will take a feed from the switch side of the relay.
