Quick ? about the H4 headlight upgrade - ground circuit.

If you are using H4s pls confirm you are using a relay harness too - ie your headlight or high beam circuit (red & purple) is only sending +12v to energize a relay that is supplying the current to the bulbs? Do not use your stock headlight and dimmer switch to power H4 bulbs - period. In these H4 harnesses, whether you buy it or make it (plenty of diagrams online) the dedicated ground for each bulb is run in the harness and generally routed out and ganged to a terminal ring that you put under the bolt on the core support where the rest of the forward grounds go. The hot lead for the relays is usually paired to the starter solenoid always hot stud. Makes for a clean harness install and you know both hot and ground are sized for the H4 load (prefer 12ga but 14ga is adequate).
Originally: before there were any modifications to any wiring. I ran a 4 gauge wire with a giant fuse, from the 138 amp alternator, to the starter relay. This is because I needed the car to function, while move it around during the build process, and it's my opinion, a amp-meter might be okay for a 38 amp alternator, but not a 138 amp unit. Plus the wiring harness to the instrument panel is probably stiff as hell. Since electrical was the last process in the build. First I ran two 10 gauge fused/circuit breaker ( have no Idea what amps yet) wires to two 30 amp relays. Next I ran the purple, and red wires, one to each relays. Than ( because of availability I ran a blue ( cold ) 14 gauge wire from the low beam - relay to the drives side headlamp, than to the passengers side. On relay be I did the same with the red ( hot= high beam ) 14 guage. Than I ran a black 10 guage from the drivers side HL to the passenger side HL, and than back to the rad support by the other grounds. The side marker had a ground that went directly to the rad support already. ( Before I touched anything the drivers side HL, pigtailed it's ground off to the passenger side HL, and than the side marker.) So on the passenger side HL plug pigtail, I soldered the two black together. So that ground now runs like this - Drivers side marker, to passenger side marker, and back to the common rad support ground. Last time I did this harness, I didn't replace the headlight switch, or dimmer with anything more than a stock NAPA replacement. Only because the old switches looked like they had 45 years of nasty all over them. That system, with it's cheap plastic/glass h4 housings lasted 7 years. Whether it was good luck I had no bad luck, I can't say. This car is getting overkilled on everything. So now you have a complete back ground, and story, thanks guys, and have at it.
