for those like me(burn headlighs plugs)how to fix
Ok, first I want to say my english is not the best so if you dont undertand
something just tell me
lets start....many people are using the hipper white bulbs there are fried
your plugs, cables, and relays like me
but I like them I m still using
but with a mod.I dont be responsible for anything happend to your car doing this
I am a an automotive technitian so a have basic knowlegde about electronics.
the problem is simple-----the factory bulbs are 51w and most of the aftermarket bulbs(hipper white, xenon,etc)are 80w like mine and the harness are designed
for low watage or watts and the aftermarket are low ohm so the cables tend to
melt in long use because their overheat.
ok first you need to know how a relay work( because you need one to do this)
5 cable relay
30 + constant
85 activation signal
86 ground
87 accesorie
87 accesorie
thats numbers are found under th relay and are designed to the cables
Things you need
5 cables relay
2 heavy duty plugs (found in pep boys)
black tape(or wire tape)
few cable conectors
wire cutter
like 5 ft of #14 cable
first cut the passenger side headlight plug, the are 2 cables ,white with black stripe(ground) and gray(+)
pay attention because sound complicate but isn't
connect the black cable of the new plug to the white black cable. Connect the #14
cable to the white cable of the new plug and run them behind the grill with a harness you will found there ( to the factory look purpose) and connect to one of the 2 87 cables of the relay. the other 87 cable of the relay conect to the white cable of the new plug of the driver side . so you have conected the 2 #87 cables so only need to conect the # 30 85 86 cables .
the #86 is ground so conect to the black cable of the new plug and the white black cable of the headlight harness(ground)
ok so let connect the #30 and the #86
the #30 is + constant so you need to find a power source so you can put direct
to the battery or use a spare + you fin in a corner of the fuse box under the hood.
so connect the#30 cable of the relay to a constant power source and the only left is the #85. so connect to the red gray dots cable you found in the headlight harness of the driver side because this is the activator signal you need to the relay.
and is done put some electrical tape, secure everything and you are done.
