Head Light Relay Kit Install

I saw a new thread discussing dim lights, and one of the corrective actions suggested is to install a headlight relay system. Since we've already been down that road and having installed the system that Bob sells, I thought I'd post a walk through of the product and how we went about the install. As always, I wish I had taken more pix along the way, but I think you'll get a feel for how easy and clean this install can be. I hope this helps!

Nice job! This is on my to do list.

Very nice, really looks clean. So how do the dash lights look now?

The stock bulbs did glow brighter, but not bright enough for us. Seems a common refrain. We went with the Super Brite LEDs in the instrument cluster, center gauges and center console lights. We replaced the courtesy lights with led light strips. Now we're satisfied with the lum levels.

It is a really nice well thought out kit. Mounted mine similar to yours and was happy with this upgrade. Nice thing I like with this kit is that if a relay ever fails you just disconnect the relay and go straight to the headlight and you have that lamp working again until you can replace the relay. You did a really nice job on your installation, congrats on your installation

One of the best upgrades you can do. I did mine many years ago. Get some nice hi-wattage bulbs and you will notice a difference. It also makes your car look "stronger' when driving at night, having bright headlights. Dim, yellow-brown lights make a car look 'weak'...like "Christine' on her last legs.

I too installed this system in my car. The biggest plus for me was that it eliminated any flickering of the headlights which is a common problem on these cars if you're drawing too much current. Great upgrade and easy install.

I'm doing this, I hate my headlights! I also put the superbright led's in the dash and what a difference! Now I have to do the headlight fix. Where can I get this from?

You can build your own easily from about $25 in parts.

or you can buy one from summit for about 35 bucks like I did.

Works nicely, no problems in several years use.

Great, thank's for the info guys.

In addition to the kit, I found that my old voltage regulator was causing "flicker" in not only the headlights, but all the running and tail lights as well.

I replaced the old mechanical VR with a new Solidstate one from OReilly, and installed the sequential LED tail light kit from Easy Performance. All is fantastic now!

Butch65,

Nice write on on how to install. I will be studying this How to. I bought the Reenmachine kit, have not yet installed, for my 1973 coupe. I just went to their site and cannot find the product. Huh!
