Headlight Relays: For Dummies
So I don't like messing with actual relay wiring diagrams. I like things to be simple. I'm sure there are people out there that don't understand how to wire a relay by looking at wiring diagrams, so I made this. I figured I would post it for anyone else's use. Hope it helps someone. I wired mine using this diagram I drew earlier tonight and it works fine.

You defiantly want to replace the stock headlamp sockets because the:
High beam wire is 14 gauge
Low beam wire is 16 gauge
Ground wire is 20 gauge.
Whatever circuit you use design it around a good set from Cole Hersee or Napa and not the cheap ones like at Auto Zone. (Motor-Mite)

well i did mine just tapping into the exsisting harness at the place where the rest of the truck relays are, so if i change the pigtails and run like 12 or 10 gauge to it from the relays, i will get better light?

Possibly. You just dont want to be pulling that much power through a small wire. Doing so can cause the wire to melt/Catch fire/make your CTD go bye byes.
