Headlight switch

[Terry Neal]

Good stuff Greg. Am going to do head & tail lights on mine as soon
as the snow melts a little. A lot of protection in these upgrades.

Often a switch burns out when an appliance it turns on draw too much

Setting up a relay to power the lights will route the juice to

glow the light away from the dash switch. the dash switch will then

only power or trip the relays. JohnF has an article about a headlight relay upgrade some place. 





You can use several relays to trip different lights that the

switch powers. Set the dash switch to trip each relay in parellel.

that way a fault in one light orlength of wirewill not darken the

remaining lights.





The relay also helps supply more juice to the lights and they glow

brighter . 





CurtS of this forum built a relay board for my ailing tail lights

and an independent set of relays for the trailer plug. that way the

toad or trailer wont effect the bus running lights.
