Relays Fix for B Body Headlight Issue

[Tyron68]

I know this has been discussed a number of times on here, but I was wondering if someone could send me some pics, instructions and part numbers for the relay add, to fix the headlight issue on a b body (68 charger). My headlights go out after 10 or so minutes of my car being on and I am done with putting this off (going on 3 years now). From what I have read I need to add a relay to both low and hi-beam wiring (seems like there are options on locations to do this). I've gone through the process of checking grounds, wiring, etc.. I have already replaced my switch thinking that was the issue, but I've ruled that out. I'd like to get together the parts and instructions to fix this. Thanks

The headlight relays I've installed were to make my headlights brighter. Not to fix any issues where my lights go out after 10min. I'd fix the one issue and then get a headlight relay kit.

Basic idea of the headlight relay kit is to provide a higher voltage to the OE incadescent lights for increased brightness.
For me, and my 70RR I upgraded to LED headlights which draw about 70% less current than incadescents..

Do you want build it yourself or buy it?

Headlight switch is probably the cause.

I second this. But as far as shutting off I would check your floor dimmer switch first…

I’ve replaced it twice already. The same thing has happened both times. It initially works but then over time seems to work less and less until the lights just stop coming on.

I’ll check my wiring to it. I’ve replaced it once like a year ago.

Thanks. He has come up in some other forums on this topic. I’ll send him a Pm.

The feedback was it reduces the amp load to the switch (the current amp load overheats the switch).

good idea on the LED’s…….

I have posted this previously...
There is a major voltage loss using our Mopar OE incadescent headlights and factory wiring. LED headlights are less dependent on voltage and draw significantly less current while providing a brighter, wider light dispersion. For my choice of LEDs I went with the Holley retrobrights, pricey but high quality. See the attached pix..
