Re: Need shopping list for h4 conversion

If they are standard H4's you wont need relays. But if you want them, just work out where you want to put the relays and work from there. I used a "project box" from an electrical shop to hide mine in, and i used 7 core trailer wire for the wiring instead of having 10 wires all over the pl...

Re: How to setup a regulator for the alternator

So on the back of your alternator you have one of those things that you plug your wires into. If you unscrew it it will just come out but if its an oldy there will be a wire soldered on the back.

Beside the obvious switcharpo, what other mods do I actually need to do to get one of these between the engine and strut tower of a GC or GD?
