Greetings all - long time no post!

The Subie is doing great, done nothing but oil changes since the big timing belt/water pump job and it is running like a champ.

I was out on the pitch black mountain roads last weeked, and the roads had no reflectors and worn out markings from all the ploughing - scary stuff, especially on low beam - could hardly see a thing.

I've searched and read the '90-'91 lights are worse than my '94s - I feel bad for you guys...

So I am going to rig up the relays and thick gauge wires to try and minimize any voltage drop across the stock bulbs.

One question - what brand of relays/fuse blocks did you guys use, and where did you get them?

Thanks,
Dave

I can vouch for the 90-91 headlights sucking big ones.

There's an electronics store (non-Radio Shack) that has Bosch auto relays. I would look around in the yellow pages to find a similar store in your area.

Or you could go to the autoparts store. They usually sell some relays...

OK so Bosch are the way to go. I will try the generic auto parts stores and see what I can come up with!

Thanks,
Dave
