I need a detailed instructions on how to connect a toogle switch to a fuceable link to a battery and to a halogin headlight bulb?
Ok there are 2 ways todo this ,, the first is the easiest but not the cleanest..
First ..
1.) connect 8 guage wire from postive battery terminal to (2 port fuse holder)..
2.) from each of the fuse in the holder connect to the positive lead of each bulb (which should be in the bulb holder and in the headlamps or fogs or whatever).
3.) connect negative to a bolt on cars body.. Lamps will come on..
4.) remove positive from battery terminal..
5.) connect to your spst switch (what ever kind of switch u are using.)
6.) mount switch inside car,
7.) connect wire from other lead of switch to battery terminal..(pos)
Switch the lamps on and off using the switch..
Second method..
you will need
2 4-pin relays
8 guage wire
tester
1.) remove connectors from both head lamps
2.) turn on head lamps and test to see which is positive on each
3.) bridge this wire to the Com on the relay .. (1 head lamp to 1 relay)
connect positve wire from battery termial to relay (each relay seperate wire)
connect negative wire from cars body to relay (each relay seperate wire)
4.) connect Out from relay to Positive on Halogen bulb
6.) connect negative from bulb to cars body
now the lamps will come on and off with the head lamp switch..
Alternatively you can connect the fuse holder to the battery, and connect a switch to that and then that to the positive in on the relay..
Sorry I dont have any diagrams didnt have the time to draw one,, answered this quickly this morning before work..
