I was reading the Tech. Article on how to re-wire your headlights.
i have a problem where 1 of my headlights keeps dimming intermittantly with high beams on or off. My question is, what do i ask for when i buy the relays mentioned in the tech article, is there some kind of serial number for that specific relay? or.... is there somthing else i can do to fix the dimming problem without re-wiring the whole system.

 

30 amp normally open relay

 

so it's a "Normal" relay? i can just ask for a 30 amp "normal relay" ?? i thought there were specific types?

 

normally open. That means its off unless you give it power.

 

thanks for the help guys, but im still kinda not gettin it, cause there are 4 prongs on the relay, and they have numbers like 86 and stuff, doesn't that fall under somthing specific?

 

The numbers just tell you which prongs are the coil side(control) and which side is the switched(high current).
