Common questions

Questions before you buy

What does a headlamp relay do?

A relay lets a lower-current control circuit switch power to the lamp circuit. Vehicle wiring determines the arrangement.

How do I read a headlamp relay diagram?

Trace fuse, switch, relay coil and lamp output using symbols and terminal numbers. Confirm it matches your vehicle and year.

Can a faulty relay stop headlamps working?

Yes, although a fuse, switch, wiring fault or lamp can cause similar symptoms. Check the circuit before replacing a relay.

Is it safe to wire headlamps without a relay?

Follow vehicle maker circuit design and applicable rules. Incorrect wiring can overload components or create an electrical fault.
