HID Xenon Headlight Electrical Retrofit
HID Xenon Headlight Electrical Retrofit
Does triggering relays directly from headlight connector, harm the headlight switch?
The answer is yes. Activating relays is done by connecting voltage to a coil, which in turn creates a magnetic field. When voltage is removed from the relay, the energy that is stored in the coil collapses, and will send current the other way, by increasing voltage to several hundred volts. A small arc will be visible between the contact elements of the headlight switch. Over time, the switch will only work intermittently, and will eventually fail. That's why a serial diode is essential to protect the headlight switch.
Here's the current path to a properly connected H.I.D. retrofit electrical wiring.
The heart of most of the electrical work is at the H.I.D. relay. The relay, the most common is a Bosch type, has 5 terminals, of which 4 are of interest to you.
Terminals 84 and 85, sometimes labeled 85 and 86, is the relay coil. Remember to install an in line diode between these two terminals. Most newer relays have this diode internally. As we've said before, the diode protects the headlight switch from damage due to arching.
Shown in this video, terminal 84 is connected to ground. You may connect either of the relay coil terminals to ground. This is the activation ........That was just an excerpt of this video...Get the whole story here and do it an HID retrofit yourself. Save money with our HID retrofit video.

Turn signal circuits are often an area of trouble for technicians. In all cases, the turn signal switch is also in charge of the hazard lights and to make matters worse, the hazard and the turn signal switch is often a separate unit. Here in this section, we'll not concentrate on the hazard switch, but simply explain how to wire the entire turn signal system. The idea is to offer a way to make the turn signals operational if you have no parts available, due to the vehicle being out of the parts market, being too rare or just due to the high costs. In actuality, this wiring arrangement can be used even if you have no turn signal switch, which would then be substituted using standard buttons or flip switches.
This circuit also employs a regular flasher unit right at the 12 volt input. The flasher unit feeds both relays. This is done for the sake of efficiency and to reduce costs. The only drawback to using one flasher is that whenever the hazard is activated, the lights will flash at a faster rate.
Let's analyze this circuit:
Power is fed from the 12 volt supply, through the fuse and to one side of the flasher unit. The other side of the flasher feeds terminals.... Get the whole story right now in this video...Enjoy...

LED turn signals vs factory
I compare some Shock Racing LED turn signals to my factory Honda CBR F3 signals with incandescent bulbs. It seems the factory bulbs are brighter. Since I want vehicles behind me to know when im about to slow down to make a turn, I think im going to keep the factory signals.

PART-2: Electronics and the automobile are tied together at the hips. Electrical switches and relays are important and it's current flow and electrical characteristics are important. It is said that electrical work tends to be the most difficult and often shied away by many techs in the field. It all starts here, at the switching point. The knowledge gained here can then be applied to switching transistor drivers in other videos on this channel. Get the scoop on this basic electrical training video.

How Turn Signals Work in our Classic British cars
Turn signals in our classic british cars can be a mystery. How does a wire with constant voltage go in to a box and come out intermittent. Couple that with applying the brakes and now we have a brake light on and a turn signal flashing. To reveal the mystery the Moss Motors Tech department has put together this behind the scenes video.
