You still retain the factory headlight set up, all you are doing is activating the headlight relay automatically from a different location, so now Headlights come on when IGN is on "regardless" of headlight switch position.

"But", if you turn the Headlight switch ON with the IGN OFF, the headlights will still come on just as normal.

But then if you are sitting in the car waiting for someone, and decide you want to listen to the radio, your headlights will be on ! (not a good idea)

awesome shaun. when you do yours can you take loads of photos so i can copy what you have done? also have you or do you know anyone from perth that is competent and knows there stuff at doing NADS instillations

04OFF so if the light dial is off the lights will come on ONLY when the engine is running? and not when the ignition is in the acc position? so like you say i can listen to the radio without having headlamps on? because i have a large sound system in it for base camp and with that plus headlights makes for a flat battery and even more pissed off neighbours

Correct ! ,

ACC = no headlights (unless you turn the headlights on as per normal.)

IGN = lights ON regardless of headlight switch position. (so leave headlight switch off, and they will go on and off automatically)




The set up (below) is good because it has a short delay before the lights come on, so you are not straining the battery under start conditions (bit expensive tho)

No they wont if the lights are still turned to the of position.
As you would cut the wire that would go from the light switch to the origanal relay.

I will try to get some.

Also i dont know anyone that has done a nads install from perth.
I am in the middle of doing my own nads install.
I have done the catch can, boost and egt gauge.
Gonna moniter that for a little while to see whats been going on.
Then i will install the dawes and needle.
If you have the same stuff i have i can guide you through it.
Its pretty simple

Could you not run a second trigger wire from the ignition position to the headlight relay? So when your key is in off or acc, you can use the headlight stalk but when you start the car they will be on no matter the stalk position?

what about something like this? http://www.modifystreet.com/Universa...-w-Switch.html

Ask anybody with an ex Telstra vehicle - except me. lol.

Our head lights automatically turn on about 10 seconds after the ignition is turned on and automatically turn off about 10 seconds after the engine is turned off.

This happens only when the light switch is in the 'OFF' position. Spotlights only work when the light switch is in the 'ON' position.

i have VDO pyro and boost gauges, Mann Hummel catch can, Tognella needle valve and then high pressure dawes valve from america, i figure they are all pretty much the same. and just a run of the mill EGR blanking plate.

im hoping to get a cross country 4x4 intercooler next week as well, coz ive just found out my intercooler atm is leaking. so im going to try and tackle doing that myself aswell, it looks pretty straight forward.

any help or advice or fotos you have to chare would be awesome.
