Relaying dim-dip headlights - Type 44

[Jim Haseltine]

When I rebuilt my Ur-q I took the opportunity to rewire the headlight loom
with 2mm cable and install relays. All the relays are mounted inside the car
alongside of the auxiliary relay plate. This allowed me easy access to the
dim-dip circuit. I've posted info at
http://www.ur-q.freeserve.co.uk/quattro/tech/cables.html

the new dim-dip stuff is at the bottom of the page.

Regards,

Jim Haseltine
