Lol. I can do this shit in my sleep. You are correct, pin 87 doesn't get used at all with the single relay setup.

With the coil is unenergized (pins 85 & 86), pin 30 & 87a are connected. When you energize the coil (by turning on headlights) then pin 87a opens and 87 & 30 get connected.

Here's a diagram of the inside of the relay. When the coil is energized, it magnetically pulls the arm from 87a to 87.

I was Googleing a wire diagram and came across this. I forgot about the relay already in place for the HIDs. Use my first method and just run a wire from 87a of the HID relay and use your spare relay as relay two.

my HID setup isn't like that. LOL

and........it gets swapped up too often I don't want to tap into that stuff.

i'd prefer to keep it with a single relay that acts by itself, know what I mean?

methinks I'll install this tomorrow.



And, got the wiring all mocked up here on the bench. Works great, thank you Morgan!
