My headlights won't turn on. The last few weeks they have been sketchy, ie I need to flick the switch on and off a few times before they fire up, or either the left/right light will come on, but not both of them at the same time.
I seem to notice it happening more often when it rains, but somehow I think it is just a coincedince. I'm guessing its a wiring problem, but I don't know what it could be, as it affects both the left and right lights. It used to work by switching on/off a few times, so all the wires should be hooked up correctly. |

Should we be using a diode to prevent voltage spikes too? If so what kind of diode?
Do you need two replays as well? (i.e. one relay for each factory light harness/balast) Or can we get away with just one relay hooked up to one light, and have the output +12v split to the two balasts? |
