On my old 90 I used to have an ARB headlight loom (although they're dead easy to make)

in short, it's 3 relays (one for both headlights dipped bean and the other two for each headlight on main beam)

There was a socket that the headlight plug plugged into, which triggered the relays (dipped/main), and the whole loom took its own power feed directly from the battery.

So when you flicked the headlight dip/main switch on the steering column, the relays engaged, and they controlled the headlights. even with standard bulbs it made them "whiter" instead of the yellowy dull that they are.

Funnily enough the headlight (off/side/main) switch melted on my 110 last week. I've knocked up a quick relay loom so that the main switch just operates the relay which in turn powers the headlights, but the dip/main bean still goes through the poxy column switch... I'll get around to making a full loom sometime.

As luck would have it, I had an old Td5 bulkhead loom so I chopped off the healdight switch plug, along with the old plug from my melted switch, and made the relay loom literally plug & play (apart from a separate earth for the relays)


should save on melted switches in future!
