    Headlight Relays for Softdash Classics?

    I keep hearing about D1/D2 having the Traxide headlight setup - to prevent burnout and/or improve lighting? I understand that Tim's unit is not supplied for the D2a facelift with H7 bulbs!

    Given that the D1 is in many ways the deprived younger brother to the classic/s, is there any benefit/need for a similar loom for the classics, in particular for me, a softdash?

    Hi Gavin I did mine many years ago as I run 90/130 H4 globes and 130 sealed beam spots so lots of amps relays are just piece of mind

    I did my old softdash, not a traxide kit, but put the lighting system on relays, made a fair difference

    Put big wattage globes in a Series once and promptly burnt out the headlight switch. Relays are cheap, but looms are not. Tim's looms are good value IMO.
