How to wire a headlight circuit
The basic headlight circuit of car is not very complex, and it is totally able to be built for any do-it-yourself automotive project that you may have. The most common headlights used in this basic headlight circuit are the H6024 7" Round Sealed Beam Headlights and the H6054 Rectangle Sealed Beam Headlights. You'll also need a 12 volt switch, a 12 volt Bosch style relay, a (Part number DS72) Floor Mounted Dimmer Switch, a couple of fuses, and some wiring.
The headlight relay wiring is as follows: Pin 30 - Receives power from the car battery, with a fuse in the middle. Pin 87 - Sends power out of the headlight relay to the high beam dimmer switch Pin 86 - Receives power from the headlight switch Pin 85 - Goes to ground Pin 87a - If your relay has this pin, it is not used.
