editionmatt 1 Posted November 6, 2010 Report Share Posted November 6, 2010 iv just been given a set of morrettes for free but on one side the loom seems to be missing. am i right in saying i can just use everything off my old o.e.m lights or does the loom have to be specific for this set of lights? i Want to spray them all up and get them looking spangley but shant bother if im not going to be able to wire them up. i did search and found another recent thread and people started saying theres relays and that they are h4 lamps?? didnt think this was required as there will be a lamp for each setting of my lights on there if that makes any sence? just though id ask on here b4 i start fiddling cheers Link to post Share on other sites
editionmatt 1 Posted November 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2010 ok so just had another look and its an h4 lamp so im stuffed as i cant reuse my loom heres another bit that i only have one of....so going to nneed another from somewhere. It says H4 on it bt its not attached to the lamp, will i get this with the lamp or do i need to source one of these aswell?? Link to post Share on other sites
Lukey. 381 Posted November 7, 2010 Report Share Posted November 7, 2010 which bit are you missing? that just looks like a bulb holder for an H4 bulb, new bulbs would have these attatched anyway Link to post Share on other sites
editionmatt 1 Posted November 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2010 ahhh ok, well aswell as needing 2 nnew h4 lamps i only have one loom, obviously i need 2 so im missing one do i need a relay aswell or is this a myth? or is the h4 doing low beam them the h4 and the h1 doing hi beam?

Lukey. 381 Posted November 7, 2010 Report Share Posted November 7, 2010 mine were 2x h4 each side, the dipped beam was outside h4 on dipped and main beam was all 4 h4 bulbs on full beam, massive amount of lightmine had the relay giving power straight from the battery, its the green box with the red wire coming out of it fastened to the left light. not too sure how they worked for each beam but they did, i sold them and got hella quads cos i wanted projectors and the smoked lenses to go with my whole black/dark theme Link to post Share on other sites
editionmatt 1 Posted November 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2010 yeah, ahhh i dont have a relay will try and wire it how my old ones were but just have an H4 instead of an H1 on one of the lenses, i take it this will gie better light or is it due to volt drop because the cable run back to the battery is so far? (so iv heard) iv read up on people reirig the lights using shorter runs but weather this would work, i dont know. Sarting to get sick of standards as its starting to feel rather dangerous through the backroads as i cant see a thing. no word of a lie, my high beams are only a fractionn brighter than my dipped, how does that work??

Lukey. 381 Posted November 7, 2010 Report Share Posted November 7, 2010 i think people re wire the lights with relays off the battery because the voltage drop over the standard loom is pretty big, relaying off the battery gives full power Link to post Share on other sites
editionmatt 1 Posted November 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2010 ahh ok so on a new set you will get a relay with it which is prewired into it, then you just take a live directly from the battery to thhe red wire of the relay, this just gives it a "boost" so to speak?

Lukey. 381 Posted November 7, 2010 Report Share Posted November 7, 2010 thats my understanding of the wiring yes, the relay is just in place to give the best current to the lights, it should work without it fine. Link to post Share on other sites
