GE nighthawk sealed beams
The below pictures are with old junkyard pulled sealed beam Halogen.
Been driving with them for years.
Sylvania maybe? I'd have to look.
What ever was on the market 10 or 15 years in junk yards.
Since my 45 year old wires had a meltdown last month, I did some up grades.
I put in the FBO ECU and Flamethrower which is fine.
Here's one for electrical gurus. Help.
This is my commuter so I don't want to have down time on that car.
I keep it on the road.
That's my excuse for not doing it sooner.
I pulled in wires to bypass the firewall connections on the amp meter load and the "run" circuit.
Well, I JUST did a relay upgrade too.
DO IT!.
Bought the Bosch relays and connectors.
Went with ceramic for the headlights just in case.........
Ran a dedicated feed off the alternator for the relay power to separate fuses for the relays.
I've been driving for years with lights that:
1. Was afraid to use high beams because of the headlight switch load.
2. Could not see more than 50 feet ahead. (Whatever).
And my night driving is all on the interstate so I had other cars and lighting wasn't really a big problem.
Here is the result. I also went with the Phillips 194LED for the instrument lighting and high beam indicator. (Got two 2 packs which did 3 cluster back lights and the indicator)
NOW my light switch and number 5/4 fuse area below it (feeds the cluster and outside lights) aren't HOT when I get home at night.
I also hung a volt meter above my left knee by the kick panel to monitor that.
Before.
(Ok. I don't really have a before. But you get the idea.)
After.
