Looks easy...
Is it really that easy? Does it come with good instructions? Messing with the electrical system always gives me the creeps!

I have a 76 911. Can I us these headlights?
I just had a low beam die and figure I can upgrade while repairing/replacing. I am inept when it comes to anything electric. Can someone describe the process of using these relays? Thanks |
hey guys...I do plan on installing the Sucro relay now that I understand the potential but I gotta tell you I installed 80/100 bulbs 4 years ago (being stupid) and have never had a problem....

Yes, you can use them..Infact I have them on my '74. Do a good search, we have been through the relay and light install several times in the past few months....Of course, as a lawyer...you might be concerned that the euro lights are not legal for street use in the US......not that anyone would ever know. This is my Sucro relay install, I chose to mount them behind the current relay panel for a cleaner, more stock look, but it is not necessary and most folks don't. See the square/rectangular shapes behind the stock panel..on the far left?http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1075085530.jpg |
Got the relay
Got my Sucro relay today (thanks Marcus!). Looks fairly easy, except how exactly is the best way to connect wires directly to the battery? And what exactly are ring terminals, and where do I get them?

Where to Buy On-line Yes 1-800-THE-SHACK (1-800-843-7422) Yes In Stores Find it at your local store: Yes 2 each: 1/4"(for 16-14 ga.), 2 each:3/8"(for 16-14 ga.), 2 each:1/2"(for 12-10 ga.). Pack of 6. RADIO SHACK has them in a multitude of sizes. Just match up to whatever size wire you're putting them on and the ring size you need. I'm guessing that you need one to go connect to the battery terminal. If so, you don't need one that is the full size of the terminal itself. Look at your battery - you only need a ring terminal to fit the bolt that connects the battery to the rest of the car (hope that made sense.) |
Guys, if you just want more light, do what i did. I was going to do the HID upgrade by Sylvania and theni just bought the Silverstar Bulbs for my regular headlamps and foglights. They are just as bright as H4's and look just as good

Negatory. The Hella direct-replacement lights (Bosch makes them too) trhow a light pattern that is different and better than the USA-DOT units.

Lol, nostatic. As great and (I'm sure) accurate that explanation was, it was so DiscoveryChannel-scientifically cool, yet once I read it, all I could think of was: "one point twenty-one jigawatts!!!"

Got it
Thanks to Steve911..I thought that was what they were. I'll hit the Shack later.

The third relay is for the fan on my Carrera oil cooler. I used the factory harness and relay and installed it in an empty position. I was going to use factory relays for the headlights too, but the sucro kit price was much better and I cheaped out. The Sucros are behind the panel where the last relay would go, if installed. |
