So I didn't know if this would be exterior styling or interior wiring, so i put it here.
I don't quite understand the relay part of the whole set up. From what i understand after reading the 12 page how to you can wire them with out the relay. If you can wire them without the relay why is there such a big fuss over getting the relays? And why do i need one if i can wire it without it? I just got my set of power folding mirrors with the switches and plugs and will probablyy start working on getting them set up this weekend hopefully just looking for a bit more understanding. Thanks guys -------------------- 1 JL 1,000/1v2

cause with the relay dude, its simple and not a hassle.
if you can wire without, then you have to use a separate, two way switch rather than the switch it comes with. the relay acts as a polarity reverser, meaning by a single stroke of the same switch it can go from - 12 to +12 on the same wire. And is safer and will prolong the life of the motors, as it also acts as a voltage regulator. -------------------- Learned a lot in 10 years...

If you PM me and I dont respond, dont fret or cry. Im alive, better post your questions in the thread below, maybe I log back in 2grfe Swapped... Why I chose the 2GR, before you ask read here...
