1989 244... Sometime back I upgraded my headlight system by installing heavier

wiring, relays and a few other items.. Most of the information came from Daniel

Stern's site. But there were other diagrams I used.. The question here is,, does

anyone have the sites of any 240 headlight upgrade wiring diagrams as I have lost

mine and seem to be having some problems at the present. Also I am looking for

the wiring diagram that shows how to wire the low beams to also be on while the

high/low beams are active on a two light system.. I know it involves adding a

third relay but that is as far as I can remember from an old post I read several

years ago.. Thanks for any information you can provide... Max

That sounds as if the low beams would be on when the high beams are on. If that's the case, there is a risk of heat damage to the reflector and lens.

I remember reading some BB posts 2 to 3 years back concerning heat damage when using higher-than-stock wattage headlight bulbs. The heavy wiring relay system doesn't have that risk, as what it does is allow the bulbs to draw all the amps they can, not an excess.

In that same time-frame there was posted a way to make the corner lights into DRLs. Requires making the upper light socket capable of operating both filaments of the two-filament bulb that's in there already, and using a relay in the circuit somewhere.

Good Luck,

Bob
