Light loom upgrade

[farmboymatt 0]

Hi just wondered if anyone had wiring diagram or knew how to build the look to come straight off the battery to give the lights more juice. What grade wire, fuses etc.

theres the guy on ebay selling them for about 36quid, but for some wires seems a bit much, couple years ago a friend brought a loom upgrade off here i think for bout 15quid

thanks

a long time ago (like 10 years lol ) I wrote this up:

 

4 * 15A relay

dip beam left

dip beam right

main beam + driving lamp left

main beam + driving lamp right

4* inline fuses + holders rated at 15A (relays can be purchased that contain a fuse mount)

 

red and black cable rated at up to 15A, alternatively red + 2 other colours(dip,main,driving) + black or brown (relay earths) depending on location of relays etc., more than 10 metres of red (or 4m of each colour) and a couple of metres of black/brown cable is required

 

spade end connectors:

16 female for relays

8 female for fuse holders

6 female for relay to light bulbs

4 female for switching feeds (i.e. existing loom +12v feeds to bulb filaments)

TOTAL= 34

 

6 male for light bulb to relay join

4 male for switching feed to relay join

TOTAL= 10

 

Note: get far more than you need, you always make some mistakes/bugger some up.

 

plastic sheaths for above (usually male and female ones)

 

1 earth terminal round connector (roughly 4 times duty of spade connectors)

 

1 +12v terminal round connector (same as above)

 

cable wrap or heat shrink tubing, couple of metres

 

small tie-wraps

 

box to house relays (keeps things tidy if you go for a 4 relay setup)

 

good quality crimping tool

 

Phillips screwdriver (longish) - you will need to remove both headlights - easy.

 

As an alternative to the connectors above, you may be able to source male and female connector blocks and connectors (three-way), I've seen them in body-kit headlight setups, but they may be expensive and difficult to find, the connectors are a larger, less common size. The advantage of using these would be not having to cut any wires in the existing loom.

Easy. See below, fork out the readies and be ready to go! Loads of people have used these and all rate them highly. I'm one of them! Couple with some Phillips Extreme bulbs, they give great results.
