Title: Eastern Beaver H4 Headlight Relay Kit
Post by: richard on May 19, 2010, 08:56:12 AM
Hello. Anyone has any experience with this product? Does it work and is it pretty easy to install? My friend gave me the kit and I'm planning on installing it myself. Any input about them would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Why do you need this? do you have a crazy headlight setup? or want to shut your lights off?

looks simple enough to install.

Its suppose to intensify the light but wouldn't draw too much from the battery. Instead of changing everything to a HID set up. An economical and efficient way of brightening up headlights I guess.

idont think it would brighten that much. if anything noticeable at all.

maybe if your wiring system was archaic.

Ok. I'll probably try it and if it didn't make much of a difference, I will consider a HID conversion kit. I just want to increase safety on the bike by making it brighter. Thanks anyway.

The relay would reduce voltage drop by using shorter lengths of wire since the current for the headlight is running through the switch.  Big difference?  No, unless you eliminated dirty connections in the process.

Hi Howie. So you think its not worth putting the effort of installing them? If its not going to make it brighter, I just won't waste my time then.

Thanks'
