Headlight isolation relay

I am looking for the headlight isolation relay - probably like many people before. Part number 10038949 - I know they are out of production. Anyone know where I can get my hands on one - or someone who fixs ?

Re: Headlight isolation relay

Don't Know if BRJ ever got the schematic done for this electronic replacement for the relay in Post #11, but here is the link: https://www.thirdgen.org/forums/elec...-trans-am.html I have a spare relay for my Firebird, but something like this would be great.

Re: Headlight isolation relay

My friend and I just made one using a diode and standard off the shelf relay worked great. Spliced in a new connector and all is well now

Re: Headlight isolation relay

So thats good. I decided to buy the hard wire option from Rodney Dickman. Haven't heard back from Denny @ 3rd gen. ranch. I'm a little adamant about cutting the factory wire harness off but there's no real option.
