And what would be involved in rewiring with 12 awg wire? Any harness hacking?
Any write-ups on this?
When I installed my relays, I disconnected the headlamp wires from the fuse block and attached the coils of my relays to these points. I then ran new 12 ga wires (separately) to the headlamp buckets (I drilled two holes for each side, 1 in the tub and one in the bucket)and I attached my new wires to a decent (Hella) headlamp connector.
