Re: [Chrysler300] halogen lights and electricals

Rich and All,

The 6 volt cars will require a 6 volt relay but because they are sold in
minuscule quantities compared to the 12 volt relay, they are three times
the cost.  Also, they don't have a mounting tab so they will have to be
attached to some other component.  The 6 volt kit (model HLR6V) is $17. 
I suggest one for high beam and a second one for low beam (two per car),
however, just using one for high beam only will definitely reduce the
load on the light switch.
  
As general information for everyone, I didn't plan to mount the relays to
a panel because individual relays will be less visible.  If anyone
requires a panel mount I will have to do a prototype to establish a
price.

You can use these relays for any high amperage demand device such as the
AC/heater motor, electric rear window defroster, AC compressor clutch,
fog lamps, etc.  After the starter, headlights are probably the greatest
load in our cars.. 

You could use 4 relays, one each for high beam and low beam, on each side
of the car, particularly those that have quad headlights.  However, I
think one for each function is plenty.

To clarify for everyone, a minimum of two relays will be required to
control both high and low beam functions for each car.  That price will
be $24 for 12 volt, and $34 for 6 volt, and I suspect that $5 will mail
them anywhere in the continental US.  For off shore shipping I will work
on a case by case basis.  I hope I have answered most questions.  Thank
you.

Model HLR12V   $12 ea. + $5 for Postage.
Model HLR6V     $17 ea. + $5 for postage.
