[Healeys] Headlight relay kit

[Alex]

Motorola mobile radio relays are also applicable, and do quite well under the bonnet. Mine has been in service on my BT7 for over ten years. Get 'em at a 2-way radio shop.

  OR .... you could just install Hella watertight relays (google it for many sources)

    The picture attached is not what is on my car [picture found on the web],
    but IS representative of what is on the car.

    Yes, we did use a grommet where the mounting screws and wire penetrated the
    plastic [also a dab of silicone sealant, if it looked like an imperfect
    seal...].

    As I recall, keeping the relays still to wire them up and having some order
    in there called for the relays to be mounted to a piece of thin wood inside
    the plastic closure.

    Good luck,

    Thanks for the info. Sounds like a good idea. Was this container something
    you purchased or adapt from something else? Did the wires exiting from the
    container go through some kind of grommet?
