Default Umm...morette noobie question

Do the 2002 style Morette Headlights normally have relays built in on them? if so now many per each passenger and driver sides?
And are these relays make it so that the HI and Lo beam can be on at the same time?

thanks

I doubt there are relays in the headlights themselves - you already have a high and low-beam relay in the car.

yes there are relays in the wiring harness on the morette assembly. How many I dunno, but you CAN have low and Hi beans on at the same time.

yeah for some strange reason each unit, left and right, has about three relays, as far as i can tell, on each of them.
Looks like install will be kinda complex....any one have an actual pic of the back of them to show where what wires goes to what?

The install is easy if you got them with the proper adapter harnesses. The harnesses plug right into the existing headlight plugs in the car, beyond that there are two wires from the driver side light that connect to the battery, and two that go from the driver side light to the passenger side light.
You don't need to deal with the relays in the Morettes as they are already wired into the lights and there are no external connections needed for them.
