Hey Darrell,
I need to put a relay in my car to help the H-4's reach their full
potential. When it comes to relays and well, anything electrical I'm
electrically retarded. I was wondering if you'd be willing to draw a
diagram of what/how you hooked everything up? There's no rush or
anything... If you have time to do that for me I'd appreciate it. Thanks
:)
Rodney.
