2 headlight relays, why?
karmannghia60 - August 1st, 2003 at 12:36 PM

While I was inspecting the 356 loom, I noticed the PO disconnected the wires
to the left headlight completely. They ran the right headlight wires into a
relay (in addition to the original relay) which feeds both left & right headlight. Why would you do this? Should
I just disconnect what they've done and re-connect the originals. The car is
still 6V and seem that it had fog lights installed
Thanks
