Wiring layout for the 5 pin plug

Post by mk1rally »

Anyone got an idea which colour supplied which lamp. I gather the fat pin was earth?

Were the relays the ones on the bulkhead panel next to the speedo?

I dont think it matters to much which colour supplied which lamp as long as you make a note of it - originally the plugs were trailer wires so the colours are not related to spots and fogs etc

The relays - lucas 6ra (open) relays were the ones on the bulkhead near the speedo in most instances and you would have 1 relay feeding 2 spots and 1 relay feeding the 2 fogs - the lamps sharing the common earth (fat pin).

or if you go the halogen conversions with big wattage bulbs (110w) you can relay each lamp just to be on the safe side
