Mine are disguised as a voltage regulator- Bosch relays hidden inside- and was sealed from weather.

On the left hand headlight support cause it's close to the wiring harness access between the inner fender and Rad mount. I then wired both relays,along with the electric head light control to a Junction block up front installed between the two light assemblies on the inside nose and then ran one 8Gauge wire from the junction to battery..

I did something simular as well for the power-

I have the horns/upgraded headlights/electric headlights and fans running off a 4Gu wire and used a post on the front of the rad support-

I used combo fuse holder/relay blocks to control the headlights high/low beams on one side- and on the pass side to control the headlight lifts and horns-

Nice set up. Question. When you say Horns, what exactly do you mean? Reason I was asking is because i thought if it was the horns that im thinking about , they would just need the existing green wires that comes with the harness. Or are they something different?

Thanks!

There's very little of the factory harness in my car-what's left, I ran inside some AN12 SS line to hide- basically I am using the factory wires just to trigger the relays.

I used the negative wire off the harness (from the horn button) to trigger the horn relay- I did away w/ the horn relay junction box. So I have the relays up front triggering two sets of Fiamm horns (off a BMW 750IL)- one set tucked away on each side up under the front fenders -above the turn signals.

Whats left of the factory harness-high/low beam,horn,turns,parking and the headlight ajar wire.
