Default Re: H4 relay kits

Cheers . It is a lot for what it is, but I'll have a think about it and have a look on the Internet first for parts.

Yeah I didn't realise he did dual headlight kits so that was two singles at first. The dual kit makes the money a tiny bit better lol.

I understand it uses the original h4 plug for signal. Do you just tape your other one up and tuck it somewhere?

I may just be a sucker n buy it tbh. It is expensive but I'd know its done properly. I'm not an electrician, I'm a plumber, I can eventually get my head around the simple stuff but it can take me a while lol. I dislike them to be honest. Atleast I know he's done them right and can put a little more trust into them not failing

Cheers

I'm not talking about contacts especially just build quality and reliability, I've had automotive relays that have stuck, come on over bumps and crimp terminals fallen off, and most are not water resistant never mind fully sealed. I'm not saying don't buy from Ebay but you usually get what you pay for. Cheap may work for a while but its a job that's worth doing well. So my personal reccomandation if anyone makes one themselves is to use glue filled heatshrink and sealed relays if you can afford them ($6.50 from Eastern B) and all the other good tips from YC later post.

OP: The unused H4 I just tie wrapped out of the way.
