Well, now that I have a 3G alternator in my car, I can add some more current consuming devices without draining my battery.
1) headlights - I'm sick of having 4 of them, but only being able to use 2 cause of the urban area traffic regulations. I noticed that the plugs for the high beams are the same as the ones for the low beams, but instead of 3 terminals they are filled with only two - I have the crazy idea of adding them the missing terminals, connecting them to the low beams terminals in the low beam plugs, and then replacing the two high beam lights with a pair of low- beams. The high beams lamps themselves will go behind the grill, on an accesory bar in my pushbars, or anywhere else I find a good place for them, and will only work when supposed to. So in the end I'll have 4 headlights when running on low, and 6 when in high mode. Anything worng with my idea, or anything I might be skipping?
2) when browsing JC Whitney's site I stumbled across this set - have anyone used it, and how much work exactly is involved in it's installation? Any better suggestions? The part I love most is the 1000ft range of the remotes, this way I can start my car from my balcony on the 5th floor and have the engine a good warmup time before I rush it into the race that is morning traffic
