Besides enhancing the aesthetic appearance, your vehicle’s headlamps significantly affect safety while driving at night. When the headlights stop working, there can be multiple reasons for the same, and it may be one of its components like the relay or fuse or the bulbs themselves. Here, we will study the headlight relay wiring.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n The headlight switch controls the headlights’ power. In vehicles manufactured up to the late 90s, the current for the headlights passes through the button. It means long and thin wires carry current to and from the switch. Mostly, these thin wires were not enough for the original equipment headlights. Sometimes, manufacturers use lower gauge wires than required, decreasing voltage and diming the headlight over time. Further, a tiny bit of voltage drop affects a more significant bit of headlight brightness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Understand this with an example. Suppose there is a bulb with an output rated up to 1000 lumens at 12.8 volts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Now see how the bulb operates with the fall in the voltage:<\/p>\n\n\n\nTable of Contents<\/h2>\n
