MG MGB Technical - Headlight Worries (cont.)

Just wanted to post a follow up. Followed the examples on Rick Astley's MG site to rig up relays for the headlights as the new halogens were eating up my switch.

Replaced switch. Haven't looked on the contacts yet but I imagine they were pretty well burned out. Maybe I can clean them and have an x-tra. After looking at the wiring diagram and getting all the parts listed (nice shopping list) took me all of 20 min. to install and wire up.

Headlights look brighter and the relays work with a reassuring click. Can't say the instrument lights are any brighter, they always seemed quite dim. All in all a nice way to upgrade the elect. system and I feel a little better knowing I'm not overloading the system with all the upgraded lights.

Cheers,

Luis
