Right now my headlights are wired directly to my battery and operate via a switch I installed on dash (I got tired of chasing wires and just wired 'em directly).
Everything was fine for a while 'cept they weren't as bright as I'd like. A month or so ago, I noticed when I turn the light switch on, my amp gauge goes up.
I was given a headlight relay and wondered if this might cure what ails me. Both the brightness factor and amp problem.
Instead of wiring the relay directly to the battery, can I run the power wire into the firewall and tap into the power wire going to the dash switch I installed which is already wired directly to battery with inline fuse? So it'd be tapped in just upstream of the dash switch.
Or does this defeat the purpose of the relay?
Since I've already got one wire with inline fuse, I didn't want to do another one.
