[TR] Monocularity

[Alex & Janet Thomson]

That is true – I installed one of the kits on our GT6 and it worked great. Headlight switch no longer gets hot and the lights are brighter. Should have installed on years ago. I assume they included the directions shown on the website.

There is a special note at step 6.

 

Note: The original wires going to the low beams 

and to the high beams each split so they can 

feed both sides of the car. You need to connect 

the wires from the relays with the male bullet 

connectors upstream from that split. If you don’t, 

only one side of the car will light.

If I recall correctly… One relay operates both low beams. The other operates both high beams. It’s not one relay per headlamp. Hope this helps. -john

Trying to get the headlight relay kit (Moss p/n 117-515) to work on my TR6. 

  

I know I've done something wrong as only one headlight at a time will light-up. When I use low-beam, the left light lights, then high-beam and the right one lights up and the left one goes out. The instructions are not all that clear about what to hook into what, but I know I haven't switched (or mixed) the blue/white and blue/red wires and I have them connected to the bulb wires correctly too. 

  

I did replace the headlight "pig tails" with ones from British Wiring. Could they have mixed the blue/red and blue/white wires? I think that may cause this interesting problem, but I'm not sure.
