Re: '65 GMC 1500 project. From the Netherlands
As mentioned, I also converted the headlights to relay. I was given a universal relay conversion kit for headlights. I made my own harness, with the original colors. The box has relays and also 2 30 amp fuses to protect the circuit. It is nicely hidden.
Had to cut off the original connector from the OEM harness to supply the relay box. Not pictured, but I've also added the original clips to fix the harness to the grill. Power is supplied by the battery cable accessory wire.
This should take a huge load off of the headlight switch and the rest of the wiring while improving the headlights' brightness as well. From a fire hazard in the making to a win-win situation.
