Go to FLAPS, buy four fuse holders, four relays, some 12 and some 14 gauge wires. Run some 12-gauge with a circular terminal crimped onto it from beneath the under-hood positive power post to the four fuse holders, thence to the relays and from the relays to the lights. Using two relays for each side high and low. Run some grounds and run some 14 gauge from the car's headlight wires to the relays and you have your relayed wiring harness. Want to make it purdy? use brn for the gnds, red or yeller for the supplies to the relays and lites and blue for the trigger wires to the relays. Do good crimps with a ratcheting tool and use dielectric grease for the contacts to help resist corrosion.

I put my euros in about 5 or 6 years ago. Because there are no corner markers with this system I combined the ground wires and maybe the positive with the headlights. It has worked fine so far. However, the Kneale way would be much better. And I do not do too much night driving. Do you have the aiming motors also? I do not use high power lamps, but the results are still the best mod you can do to these cars bar none. 89 200 TQ.
