Thread: Headlight relay mounting position

I'm fitting Traxide headlight relay kits to both vehicles this weekend. I've been looking at the various mounting positions available for the relays.

So far I've seen them mounted inside the air intake vent and using a junction box. Can others who have fitted these please post some photos?

I can see plenty of spots inside behind the headlight but can't work out how to get the mounting screws into position.

I made up my own looms and put the relays in a 4-relay box that I ordered in from Autosparks.

I bolted the box onto the top tin of the footwell below the brake servo on the driver''s side, which I figured would remain fairly dry when off-roading (even when wading); it was also relatively easy to get to as I was able to prise off the lining inside the vehicle, drill holes for the bolts, and feed the bolts from insie the footwell. By holding the bolthead with vice grips, I was able to put flat washer/spring washer/nut on from inside the engine bay, and then tighten up the nuts.

The relay box came with a rubber sealing strip to its (clear plastic) top, and although I haven't done any wading since fitting it I'm pretty optimistic the relays will survive.
