Vitesse MK2 Front Outer Lights

[Paul H]

Sorry a newbie ?

 

The inner lights are sealed beam , the outers are Halogens with side light bulb - The side light bulb is not connected . Do I need to fit a relay for these outer Halogens ? 

 

The pic is one of the outers - Is this the whole bulb or does it break down further 

 

Thanks in advance

There little difference in the current used by 55watt sealed beam or H4 halogens

all lights on the small chassis cars benefit from relays as there is a wonderous voltage drop in the long wiring and old snap connectors wonky swithes

 

its not uncommon to only have 10 volts at the pointed end , so getting 12/14,5 to the old sealed beams will make a great difference to the glow worms and more with halogens, somyes fit relays but not just because you have bulbed headlamps

you dont need to use the pilot lamp unless you like more side light presence.

 

Your pic is a std H4 halogen bulb the white three pin connector just pulls off the lucar terminals

and you are left with the bulb its location rim and the three blade terminals
