Can you turn the high beams on...

Without the stalk? The PO took the stalk out of the race car but I've got a race at dusk.

Jump fuses 1,2 and 11

Run positive wire from 11 to both positive sides of 1 and 2.

11 is your fuel pump, so when it's on those will be on.

Or run a 12v wire from a power source to a switch to your lights.


Fuse is easiest, how mine are now

Thanks!

Bridged the low beam fuse to the high beam fuses. It works, the high beams go on with the lows. Ran a 15a fuse in place of the 7.5a since it'd be carrying 2x the current. Hope it holds!!

If not, I have a couple of fuseboxes for sale

Okay, this confirmed that the high beams work, but the relay is only built for one set of beams so I have my doubts that it will hold for a full 3 hour race. Plus I have a giant set of spots running parallel to the low beams as well.

Is there a more secure way than jumping fuses? Heading to the track tomorrow and no way to run these...big problem.

The relay itself should be good for around 420watts of lighting max.


Was this originally a sealed beam or ellipsoid car?

[priapism]

It as originally an ellipsoid car but I've got the sealed buckets in there. We're hoping to figure out a way to run a switch line to the high beam relay (or something). I'm so electron illiterate...

[DaveSmed]

Should be easy as adding a switch to ground on the white wire that originally went to the turn signal switch harness.

Check it and let me know if it does anything weird like disable the low beams, I have a trick for that too using a spare main relay if it happens.
