<VV> Headlight Relay

[JVHRoberts at aol.com]

Well, the relay will make matters better. for one thing, between the contacts 
in the dimmer and the headlight switch, as well as that @#$%&* breaker in the 
headlight switch, there's a lot of drop. But you're right, also adding a big 
fat wire straight from the battery will improve things even more so. And yes, 
I did add a 15' piece of 8 gage wire for this purpose. I also bridged it to 
the original 10 gage wire, and the wipers were a bit faster, the blower was a 
bit stronger, the horns were a bit louder, etc.

Smitty says:  c'mon guys.  I may have missed something, but simply
putting a relay in the headlight circuit without adding a big fat wire to
replace the factory #10 accomplishes nothing but adding another break in
the wire, bridged with a relay.  Some of you are making it sound like
just adding a relay will provide more power for the lights.
