Head lights schematic

Is their any good schematics to hook-up front lights with a light switch and high and low beam to follow? Thanks Dana

Here is a typical Chevy circuit diagram which is the default standard for street rod harnesses. Best to wire them through relays to protect the switch from high current like this.

This is the most common universal headlight switch used by hot rodders. It comes with the plug and wiring diagram to connect the wires in the above diagrams properly. This is on EZ's site but all the harness kit makers use them.

yup, use relays and/or heavier (12?) wire cause the lights pull alot of volts and amps from the dash harness. Can affect the coil , electric choke etc.
