Does my car already have headight relays from the H4 upgrade?

I'm hoping you guys can tell if my car already has headight relays from the PO's H4 upgrade.
The receipt just says "Install H4 and wire up correctly"
Parts listed are H4 headlamps, rings, screws, $ bulbs.

Where people attach the new relay kit, I see a 6 pin connector under the fuse box. (94461255100)
If you had this on your car, where did you position your relay?


Near the front of the trunk area, right behind the front bumper, I see this relay.
I'm not sure if this has anything to do with the H4 upgrade. Is this OEM? Horn relay?



Lastly, I was reading the JWest directions, and am not sure where the brown ground wire goes.
Does it go to the left of the fusebox in the photo above? (Where those other 3 wires are grounded)
The directions say the brown ground wire is mounted near the negative terminal cable, but I didn't see any obvious ground bolt in the area.

It does not appear that you have a relay kit installed. There is a ground to the left of your fuse panel in your picture, and there is another near the negative battery post inside the front of the trunk. I can't remember what the pictured relay is.
Good luck,
Dave

Thanks! Looks like I will install the relay kit this week.

The ground bolt near the negative terminal seems too far away.
I think I will just hook the ground to the bolt to the left of the fuse box.

Last question is to those who have that electrical connector under the right side of the fuse box, right where the relay is supposed to be mounted.
Where did you mount the relays? Gerry, did you have that in your '86?

I was able to install the relays. The directions were good.
I ended up using the ground near the front battery.
I will just Velcro it below the electrical connector.

I also used this as an opportunity to clean both grounds (Left of the fuse box and the ground bolt under the front bumper near the battery)
I used a wire wheel brush to clean the various ring terminal connectors and used dielectric grease, as well.


When connecting the positive terminal to the battery,
I redid the brittle and fraying heat shrink tubing.
