Title: RE: 1600 Headlight Improvements & other stuff !!!!

The relay is a type of heavy duty switch which is designed to handle greater power loads and prevent voltage drop The relay in this case had two circuits, one controlling low beam, and one controlling high beam and spots.  The addition of the relay to low beam made a big difference Brad HALLETT Ipswich, Qld ----- Original Message ----- From: Foreshew, Michael, HiServ/AU To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Sent: Thursday, March 23, 2000 7:11 AM Subject: RE: 1600 Headlight Improvements & other stuff !!!! Just a curiosity question.  What does the relay actually do? Regards Michael Foreshew SAP Practice Manager HiServ Australia Pty.

Sorry if I repeat something earlier on this topic but I just picked up on it.  The best headlights I had on a 1600 was a H4 conversion kit I picked up from Hella.  I also picked up a Hi/Lo integrated relay which is justa big relay that switches both Hi and Lo beams on the outers as well as the inner spots with Hi beam.  The QH lights were nice and white and awesome.  Even better with the 4 Rallye 2000's Pity I hit a horse coming back from a rally in Beerburrum.  Went from all that candlepower to my navigator using a Dolphin torch while we limped home. Fucking dark brown horse, lept from within the traffic island (forested ditch - Bruce Highway) straight in front of me about 3 metres from the grill.  When I hit the skids I still had rear bias wound in and the pagid's grabbed because there was no heat in the disc, and luckily I collected him with the grill sidways and he sort of sat on the bonnet while the car spun around him like a clock hand.  Horse was fine, Datto was injured. Struth that bit of advice went off on a tangent, maybe I need a hug...................
