Does anyone have the manufacturer's/supplier's address or phone number? Does Pelican sell it? If not, why not?

I think it's a home-made 'kit' of the parts needed to add relays to a 911's headlight circuit.

WHat do you need the relay for? Sorry for the stupidity, butI would like to know. I am changing form H5 to H4's. DO I need this, Must I do this?

Scooter, using relays will protect your switch and flasher from carrying the whole current as they do now, preventing an eventual failure, and big co$t$. They will also shorten the path from the battery (alternator) to the headlights, diminishing the current losses.

Wayne-You should stock that kit by Sucro, it is easy to install and works great. Low cost too.

Wayne does sell the relays:
High Power Headlamp Relay
141-951-253HP $7.95

The Sucro kit is a good value compared to most "kits." It comes with 2 relays attached together, and probably enough wire length (about 6 inches or so) already attached to the relays for most installations (ones that use factory wiring from the relays to the headlights), and reasonably good instructions (for an SC I believe, but adaptable to most Porsches). The kits can be installed without any soldering, but soldering would be the preferred method. If you intend to run larger wires from the relays to the headlights, there is no advantage to buying the Sucro kit over the relays seperately and would cost a slight bit more. After installing the relays, my headlights (H4, 55/65) seemed at least 20% brighter. There are very many threads on the kit and it's install here on the PP BBS.

I e-mailed msucro@rennlist.com and got no response. Does anyone else sell a similar kit? At $20, it seemed like a good buy.

Just one source for this highly recommended mod. Marcus's directions alone are worth the price. Cheap, easy, and works great. Comes complete.

I just sent the money via paypal and the relays arrived a few days later. He is probably travelling for Christmas.
