Is this the headlight relay I want?



I found it in a box of bits from a clubby I wrecked about 5 years ago, didn't notice it till now! It has two 30 amp fuses (1 blown), two L terminals, two S terminals and a B terminal. Can anybody tell me how to hook it up. I'm hoping it still works.

Looks right but mine is MUCH newer than that

That is the old style one but it should still be fine.
Very simple to hook up. It is a double switch so you can hook it up for high and low or for Left and Right high beam.

B= Battery. Run a thick cable from the battery to the B terminal.
S= Switch.
L= Light

I want to do something like this (eventually)....where do most people pick up power for there relay-ed headlights

The original wiring is pathetic...so I was thinking.....use it as a switch for the relays only and maybe run a decent power cable from the starter solenoid terminal block.

Yep, run a thick wire fron the soleniod to the relay, use the original wire from the switch to the relay, run a decent wire from the relay to the lights.

Well I'll be installing it at the same time as I convert to an alternator, so I'll take the regulator out, and probably join the three thick brown wires on to the B terminal - from memory one of them goes to the solenoid, one is the ignition and the other is headlight power anyway, so that should work fine.

Looking at schematic on box:
L1 and L2 go to lights
S1 and S2 go to high/low beam switch
B is 12V+, goes to battery cable on solenoid (use thick wire).
S is earth to a point on body- again, use thick wire.

re the L1/S1 and L2/S2, I just cut the blue/white and blue/red wires near the fusebox, and mounted the relay there.
