Fair enough. You could spend a few hour with a multi meter ( better you than me)

That was plan A & I had already bought the parts, but this seemed more 'professional', ... more 'factory' & it tickled my fancy, so I will get a wiring diagram somehow & work it out.

Couldn't you have got an aftermarket relay and just run heavy duty wires to the lights with a higher amp fuse ?

Well, with winter coming on it's getting darker, sooner, for longer & the original headlights in my 1200 coupe might be ok in a well lit city, but out here in Wombat City? Not so good, & for those who have seen the damage they can do to a car when hit, well you know they are the worlds only living rock.
With their nocturnal mates the Wallabys & Kangaroos always waiting to make a suicide dash across your path at night, it was time to do something about the headlights.

Salvation! Number two son has bought another ride & his 120Y is up for sale, so I recovered the Hella H4 inserts that I had donated from my old 1000 sedan & installed them in the 1200.

Now, of course, the 55/60w headlight bulbs draw more current than the original electrics were intended to handle, so it was time for an upgrade, &, while having a chat with Benny this morning, he suggested that I have a look at the relay pack in a Pulsar, & sure enough, my local wrecker had an N13, so I removed the front wiring harness up to the point where it went into the inner guard on the right side.

This is what I brought home for $20

Now this is the wiring harness along with the relay module. Can't tell too much what wires I have in there, so I had best investigate.

This is the relay module & I should be able to incorporporate the starter relay function in here too & still have spare capacity.

Still, I need to find out which wire goes to which terminal & I won't find out by just looking at it.

Ahhh, that's much better, now I can see all the pretty colours.
Along with the harness, I found the owners manual in the donor car & these have the wiring diagram in them, so all is good.

OOPS, perhaps I should have looked for the wiring diagram BEFORE unwraping the harness as there is no diagram in there. Damn!

Has anyone got a wiring diagram for the N13 Pulsar?
Well, it seemed like a good irea at the time.
Thanks for the tip Benny, ... I think.

Now comes the interesting bits.
Has anyone done this job before?
Should I mount it under the dash, or under the bonnet?
Your helpfull input is invited.
