RE: eurolight wiring

[MLeach@enipower.com]

yeah I guess I should have elaborated that at this point I have done no
relaying just wired up the headlights and have a bunch of wires I was
touching to the battery to check the operation

one question though why does the low beam connection jump over to the high
beam does this mean that the ground connection is the one being switched by
the headlight switch and not the power lead?...I guess if that is true it
would answer all of my questions

so are you an EE student I am in my fifth year at Rochester Institiute of
Technology

thanks

    You mean the highbeam only on the H4?  Or are you talking both high
beam filaments?

    How are you powering both?  External switch?  Holding the flasher
stalk back?

    If you are having wiring problems and the lights arent behaving as
they should be, then check to make sure the order on the H4 is correct.
Looking into the connector, with the wires running away from you, left
is high, top is low, and right is ground.

    If you leave it with no connection you will be out without an inner
highbeam.  When I wired up my relays, I used 4 relays, one for each
circuit.  Rather than running (as they do on on the stock wiring) a wire
from the H4 low to the H1 high (or perhaps H3 in your case) I ran 2
output wires from the highbeam relay to each individual highbeam
filament.  Perhaps that is what you need to do.

    How have you wired it up so far?

    Once you have wired up relays a few times, it becomes a piece of
cake  =)  Ask Tim Ebling, Jared Erlandson, or Shannon Fenton... er okay,
so maybe not Shannon  =)

  BTW, there is a way to get your low beams to come on with your
highbeams... if you like that sorta thing.  =p  All you need to do is
put a jumper between to wires on the wiring harness that goes to the
flasher stalk on the steering column.  The wires to jumper are 56
(wht/blk) with 56b (yel).  Wire 56 is the wire that gives power to the
flasher stalk when the headlights are on.  Wire 56b is the wire that
powers both low beams.
