Rudimentary electrical question 200 80

posted by  someone claiming to be b-ready on  Mon Dec 10 08:02 CST 2001 [RELATED]

Over a year ago I installed some auxilliary driving lights on my '80 GT, using the fog-light ports on the grill for the location of the new lights. I wired the aux lights directly into the high-beam wiring on the existing headlights, so that they come on any time the high-beams are activated. The lights have worked fine for over a year, but I thought I would ask for any comments on this sort of renegade wiring application. Am I living on borrowed time here, or is there nothing to worry about. My concern is having wired the lights without the use of an additional relay. Just curious - electrical aspects are definately not my long suite.

Thanks

JB
