usually those are the highbeams or driving lights driving lights. (theyre the same thing, one term is just more technical) i suppose there could be a foglight there, but odds are thats not what they are...usually foglights are lower--down in the bumper. you can also get a standard (H4) high/low headlight for those positions, but it sounds like thats not what you have. in any case, if those are actually diving lights (they'll say either H1 or H3 on the glass) they usually get wired straight in with the highbeams on the outer lights. ditch the second switch...the inner lights "appear" brighter than the high beam of the outer lights anway, (they have a different beam pattern that is better than the H4 highbeam, and WAY better than the stock 7" highbeam) so if you dont have your highbeams on, you wont want your inner beams on. no need to be fumbling around with a bunch of switches. > If so, will wiring the > relay input to the headlight output have any negative effect on the lights > or the wiring? not unless you do it wrong. it actually decreases the load on the stock light circut, and makes your headlight switch last longer. i like to pull the fuses for the passenger side lights, as i (and everyone else, for that matter) install my relays off the driver's side outputs. when relaying (in general) use proper gauge wire, solder connections and heatshrink to make sure they wont short, and install fuses near the battery. if you do that, you'll get only positive effects. ben _____________ List Sponsor: http://www.netsville.com To remove yourself from this list, send mail to [email protected] with 'unsubscribe a2_16v' in the body of your message See us on the web at http://www.a2-16v.com Visit the 16V Homepage at http://www.gti16v.org
