    Headlight Relays

    My instructor at school wondered why I have all this stuff done to my car and not headlight relays. He said they make the headlights way brighter without stealing power. He said they'd make stock lights look like my H4's. Has anyone done this? He said it would only cost like $10-$20 for the stuff. I don't know how to do it and was wondering if anyone else did. I will find out more info next Monday. Please let me know what you guys do. I'm trying to find some Stock Foglights for my Accord and I wanted my headlights to be brighter.

    So if anyone knows how to do this please let me know. Or if anyone has some stock foglights and switch for sale let me know too.


    -Mike

    Leave it APC to make a kit..... I think I'll make my own kit b/c it will probably be cheaper and less crappy. Thanks for the info Shepherd.

    are you not running relays with the H4's? It would pay to do so if you are

    yeh, it's relatively straight forward to do if you have a bit of time,.....using a kit is the quickest way to go.....but if you want to do it yourself , i'll get a list of parts and a how to ,but i remeber seeing a site somewhere which had a good diagram and directions for doing this light upgrade.....i'll try to find it and post it,...or maybe someone else may know it on this site

    Yeah shepherd they're building an Auto Zone and Advanced Auto Parts here in my town. They should be done in January sometime. So now I can stop buying stuff online and paying $10 more than I have to.

    And thanks a lot cruznz. I kinda understand how the kits are supposed to look now.
