Where is that Headlight thread...

[Bundy]

... that talked about putting a relay on each headlight?

was that using the stock lamps?

does it incorporate the stock headlight switch?

is it a massive improvement? my headlights suck and get brighter with rpms.

i searched and so many threads came up... hoping someone remembers the name of it!

thanks!

Here's a basic diagram. The relays are in the box at the left. You need to add them at that point. It will work with stock lights but with halogen bulbs it's a massive improvement. It probably won't help the dimming at idle-that's low alternator output due to weak alt or too low rpm.

so the stock headlight wiring is just sans relay?

As for the "brighter with RPM's" get an electronic Voltage regulator from Napa, request a voltage regulator for a 1978 Ford Granada.
and replace the "big box" stock one. Just plugs right in. That's what I did to get rid of the "bulb flicker" and "brighter with RPM's

Yes. That's a stock diagram that I added the relays to in order to show everyone where they need to go. You should be able to read the wire colors.
