The trouble with these two systems is they put a relay on the brakes
but not the signal lamps. Adding a relay to the signal side of the
relay box takes the load off the old relay box which increases
brightness and reliability without removing it and gets it off the
ignition switch. It also allowed me to add additional rear lights and
put them all on the same relay without running a bunch of extra wires
under the car. Right next to those two relays, I put a headlamp relay.
I put a relay on pins 3 and 7 on the control box pulling the power
from the brown blue wire (A connector-brown with blue wire) on the
ignition switch. Also pulling power from the A connector, I used a
relay on the headlamps (blue "H") on the switch. This removes the
amperage load off the ignition/headlamp switch leaving only the red
tail and side lamp on the switch.
It is simple to do with a few short wires. I soldered a solid core 12
gauge supply wire across the three relays which the got its power from
the ignition A connector and provided support to keep them together.
I then used double sided tape to hold it in place up above the
ignition switch and screwed it in place.
I then just moved wires white/purple and white/brown from the Lucas
relay unit to the new relays and used the terminals 3 and 7
respectively, to trigger the relays. I then pulled blue wire on the A
terminal on the ignition switch that feeds the high/low switch and put
it on a relay using the A terminal to trigger the relay.
