    Frank; I have the Bosch relays, but forgot to get the headlight plugs. If you could pick me up a set, I would appreciate it. I think my voltmeter will read what we need. My voltmeter in the dash says about 11 volts with the headlights on, 10 with the blower and lights. Bad ju'ju'. Will call tomorrow night, about 8ish.

    I did this upgrade to my girlfriend's '72 about 3 months ago. Major difference in the available light. :cool: Took about 2 hours to make the new harness, make a bracket to mount the fuse block and two relays to, test fit, install and dress it all up. Having full voltage to the lights is a wonderful thing.....

    I used her beater as a test case before doing the same to my '70. :cool: Same way I used her car to practive floor board replacements, door rust repairs, door hinge rebuilding, cooling system upgrades, etc. Now I know what NOT to do and what has to be outsourced. :D
