Uprated Headlight Loom

[Enfield 0]

Anyone fitted one like this? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/VW-corrado-golf-upra...1QQcmdZViewItem

 

I bought it the other day and read the instructions which don't make much sense to me...am wondering if anyone can write a quick guide for me?

 

Thanks

Anybody?

Looks just like a simple relay to me.

 

Basically, you'll need to connect the positive wire that currently goes to your headlight to the relay to act as a switch. One wire on that relay goes to the battery, and one to the headlight. You'll need to connect an earth to the relay as well.

 

For what its worth, that won't fix what usually makes 205 headlights dim - namely rubbish/corroded earths and dull reflectors in the lights.

the ring terminal will go straight to the positive battery terminal. on the relay there will be a permanent live (the one from the ring connector/fuse box), another will be an earth, another will be the switched live ( from the dipped beam wire on the car) and the last one will be the wire that runs direct to your dipped beam terminal on the bulb itself.

 

there should be numbers on the relay itself, something like 30, 85, 86, and i think 87c iirc. just match the numbers to the corresponing wires if that makes sense.

 

hope that helps

Where's that do you know?

 

I've already changed the earthing blocks either side of the headlights and the one in the rear behind the light to ring terminals.

 

I've also stripped back some of the plastic coating on the earthing wire on the bulb connector and attached another wire to it and the other end straight to the body also by ring terminal.

 

It made the voltage go up from 11.6v to 12.2v straight away!

its on the connector on the headlight bulb itself chap
