- VK 5L Calais
I decided a while back that my VK Calais headlights were too damn dull.
Anyway, first of all I did a voltage drop test. Using my multimeter I checked the voltage drop and found it to be a little over 2 volts drop from the battery to the headlight wire connector! That is massive I thought. I got a couple of dual output relays to mount in the fuse box. One for the high and one for the low beam. I marked the relays with an 'L' and 'H'. I got some dual core double insulated 15A wire from Autobarn and wired it all up. I did another measurement and it turned out to be a 200 milli volt drop! My headlights were now as good as my friends Magna or better.
I would recommend VB-VK owners doing a voltage drop test. MY headlights are probably 50% or more brighter now.
:yeah:
