[s-cars] headlight bulbs

[John Lagnese]

You only need to tap into a headlight wire, either high or low beam wire
depending on when you want them on. That would go to the remote on the
relay. I'm not familiar with that particular setup so I'm not sure exactly
where the wires run.

John,

But what if they are mounted on the grille- how can you access that wiring?
Keep this in mind, when the hood is raised, the area around the grille is
raised, but the lights are exposed.  Do you understand where I am coming
from?

Cheers!

Danton

You could relay them with the trigger wire tapping into the headlight
wiring.
