relays for headlights
I've upgraded my headlights to halogen and would like to take some of the load off the electrical system. Putting relays in would help. What color wires supply the headlights(high and low) on a 78 vette? TIA Pete

Light green for high and tan for low .
There is a harness available from Speed Direct, a forum sponsor, that will upgrade the headlamp system to relay control. It is completely plug-n-play and requires absolutely no modifications to your present wiring.

Vettenut, Thanks for the link but at 220.00 I think I can "splice" them in correctly. Again appreciate the info. Pete
