Hi Tolga, My SA headlamps are wired up this way: my outers are both high and low beam. The inners are high beam only. When I hit my brights, all four lamps are lit up and I'm kicking out about 400 watts (my outers are Hella 65/100 and I 'think' the inners are 100, but I'm not certain - but altogether they are VERY bright). That sure helps a lot when driving in the lonesome back roads of New Mexico where mule deer love to cross the road in large numbers. I can see them way down the road. I also recommend that you install relays. I installed a relay for each headlight unit and wired the whole thing directly to my battery. I installed separate fuses for the high and low beam systems.

How do 85's and later (4 square lights) work? I have an 84 with only 2 (high and low) headlights so I don't really know how the 4 light setups normally operate? Thanks Again, Tolga |
