edwardatherton Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 What sort of dipswitch should my 1957 88" have? Obviously floor-mounted, but should the wire connections point downwards or sideways...? As I have high-power halogen bulbs I want to put a relay in, but do I use one relay for low, and one for high beam, or is there a clever single relay to do both?

Unless someone corrects me, you need two relays. (that is what I have for my lamps); Check out this baby from maplins: http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?TabID=...o=37526&doy=7m2 40A SPNO Auto 12Vdc N02AW £ 2.19 or 30A SPDT Auto 12Vdc N00AW £ 1.79 30 A is more than enough for a pair of lamps and 40p cheaper!

Lars L Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 There are double relays around, i.e. two relays under one cover. No real advantage in use except for appearance perhaps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edwardatherton Posted February 8, 2006 Author Share Posted February 8, 2006 OK, its sorted now - two 30-amp relays on a specially made bracket (aka bent bit of metal!). What a miserable evening it was yesterday, the wind kept blowing the soldering iron out, and it was raining so hard I was wet through Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
