Headlight Relay Kits
Converting your headlight wiring to a modern relay type is probably one of the best 'bang for the buck' mods you can do to your classic car. A must when using modern halogen bulbs, it will also brighten your original incandescent headlights.
Normally this is done by cutting the main wiring harness and splicing in a pair of relays. Most of us try to hide the relays under or behind something as well. Not only is this a time consuming task, it can be troublesome if a connection or component fails and you have no lights!
My relay kit can be installed in less than 1 hour without cutting your harness. Not only that, it can be easily removed for shows or if it should ever fail. The kit also has built-in redundancy** that virtually guarantees that you will never be in the dark.
These kits were originally developed for 67-70 Cougars and Mustangs but will also work on most Ford Motor Company vehicles produced in the 60s and 70s without modification. All kits work with 2 or 4 headlight systems.
Will the RCCI Headlight Relay Kit fit my car?
Recommended bulbs: Direct replacement halogen bulbs are available from most car parts stores as #5001 (low beam - outer) and #5006 (high beam - inner) for 4 headlight systems and #6014 (be sure it says HALOGEN on the box) for two headlight systems.
**Full, International and Motor kits only. Read product descriptions for details.
HRKF - Headlight Relay Kit, Full
The Full Relay Kit has everything you need to add relays to your headlight circuit - without cutting your original wiring.
Included in kit: 2 weatherproof controllers, a 35A auto-reset circuit breaker, power wire, crimp-on connectors and easy to follow instructions.
Benefits:
Easy to install, and no cutting. Plug in the controllers, run a power feed and you're done.
Redundancy. Each headlight - High, Low, Left, Right has it's own relay and each side has it's own controller.
Each 40/60 Amp 12 Volt sealed relay has Negative Spike Protection built in. This means no spikes or feedback to upset delicate electronics.
Each controller contains an internal auto resetting circuit breaker to isolate left and right sides.
If a controller goes bad, remove it. The OEM circuit will power those bulbs.
The single feed wire is easily hidden and the controllers can be removed for car shows if desired.

HRKP - Headlight Relay Kit with electric motor control
The 'Probe' Relay Kit has everything that the HRKF kit above has, plus built in support for the motors used when converting vacuum headlight doors to electric.
Included in kit: Two weatherproof controllers, one 35A auto-reset circuit breaker, power wire, crimp-on connectors and easy to follow instructions.
Benefits:
Easy to install with no cutting of your original harness. Plug in the controllers, run a power feed, splice in your motor(s) and you're done.
Redundancy. Each headlight - High, Low, Left, Right has it's own relay and each side has it's own controller.
Each 40/60 Amp 12 Volt sealed relay has Negative Spike Protection built in. This means no spikes or feedback to upset delicate electronics.
Each controller contains an internal auto resetting circuit breaker to isolate left and right sides. If a controller goes bad, the other controller will continue to power the other side.
The single feed wire is easily hidden and the controllers can be removed for car shows if desired.
Motor controllers supply power, ground, open and close signals to motors.
Motor control units have seperate 10A auto resetting breaker for each motor - independent of the headlight relay circuit.
Motor controller addresses the 'blink' issue when dimmer switch is activated, no need to run additional wiring from interior to prevent motor cycling.
Compact size - The combination motor/headlight controller is approximately 4"x3"x2" and the non-motor headlight only controller (69-70) is 3"x2"x1.5".
*Note: It is the responsibility of the purchaser to ensure that the headlight wiring is sufficient to carry the amperage required by the installed lamps.
Differences in G1 and G2 kits:
The G1 Dual Motor kit is for 1967 and 1968 models that use two motors to open the headlight doors independantly. It contains 2 headlight motor control units.
The G2 Single Motor kit is for 1969 and 1970 models which use one common motor to activate both doors. It consists of one headlight motor control unit and one headlight only control unit.
