Thread: Location of Defender Headlight Relay

Thanks for your help.

Best $130 you'd ever spend IMHO. (Defender kit is $130, but if you mention you are an AULRO member when ordering, Tim has a different pricing for us lot )

My '95 Defender has 2 headlight relays on the firewall below the fuse panel. Their function is to turn the headlights off, leaving only the parkers on when the ignition goes off. Full headlight current still goes through the column dipswitch though in an as build Defender. I did the relay mod to mine and the improvement was very noticeable, short thick wire and heavy duty switch contact beats long thin wire and under sized switch contact every time.
