<p class="MsoNormal">I didn’t know about the Moss kit. I like that it doesn’t require cutting into the existing harness. I made up my own kit, with an enclosure and separate fuses for high/low beam power supplies so I can’t lose both with one blown fuse. Had
I found the Moss kit I probably would have gone that route.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Just to add to this thread: if the headlight bulbs are either the halogen type or regular incandescent, consider adding a relay into the mix. The stock switch isn't up to handling the load, especially when using high beams. My old (original)
switch got so hot that the plastic housing melted and the contacts would separate causing the lights to go off.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">You can buy the whole kit from Moss (p/n 117-515) for $35. Easy enough to install and better than factory.<o:p></o:p></p>

It’s at times like this that the use of appropriate nomenclature might be a blinding flash of the obvious?<br>
Over the years, I’ve noticed many enthusiasts willingly adopting British terminologies when it comes to their cars. So if TRF had used Headlamp Beam switch or just Headlamp dipswitch, and similarly Instrument Rheostat for panel lights, a deal of confusion could
have been avoided. Sometimes it’s a lot safer on the long term to use the old wheel rather than design a new one.<br>
Just my two pence worth<br>
