I’m posting this to get some of our Stovebolt experts to share their opinions on installing 12v headlight relays and their associated wiring.

I have a 1952 1/2 ton converted to 12v with an 63 amp alternator and would like in the near future to add headlight relays, so my questions are as follows:

1) Would you buy a pre manufactured kit and if so, what in your opinion is the best kit and place to buy?
2) Where would you get power from?
3) Where would you mount or hide the relays?
4) What headlights would you use (I presently have GE 6014’s and like the look of stock headlights)?

I’m looking forward to your valued opinions. Thanks in advance to all.
