Subject: I have seen the light!


I just made the connection to get the low beam on in both lamps of -91 RD04. I did not change the right lamp nor added any relais.  According to the wiring diagrams in owners manual there is headlight relais in every -91 RD04 model regardless of the country version so the information in

maybe needs some fine adjustment in this matter.....

Probably the simpliest way to get both lows on is to draw an additional cable straight from the left low beam clip to right lamp. This way there is no need to locate the relais. In the right lamp adapter there is no connector clip for low beam, only for high and ground, but the clip is easy to apply using a female abico. Job is easier if this connection cable is made of two pieces of cable with a joint...

I am quite satisfied with the form of the beam. I just adjusted the original right lamp a little bit lower and now it wont blind oncoming cars.

By the way I use 100/80W bulb in left lamp. Gives very nice visibility at night (as some of you know, we always have to be very carefull with polar bears on roads). The lamp gets a bit warmer than with 60/55W,  but there seems to be no problems.
