[Healeys] Headlamp wiring

[AlanB]

Team.
Let's not get carried away here.  Simon is proposing to upgrade his bulbs
from the current 55/60w to Halogens which would have a potential max rating
of 100W. That would lift the load from the current 10A to a max of 16A.  The
wiring is good for 20A plus. The PPG switch is pretty robust and since it
currently handles the 16A of the headlamp circuit it isn't likely to break
into a sweat at 20A.

Kees,



You say the wiring is too skimpy so are you advocating rewiring the entire
headlight circuit or just installing the relay and 25 amp fuse?  If the
latter, I'm assuming you add the relay and fuse before the headlight dip
switch which I'm also assuming can handle the load better than the headlight
switch.  Correct?
