High-Low Beam Relay

The high-low beam relay is a 12-volt DC unit containing heavy duty contacts for switching the headlight beams. In the low beam position, contacts are closed. The high-low beam relay also contains a diode to dampen transient electrical current that could damage the sensor-amplifier. Observe proper polarity when making connections to prevent damage to diode and, subsequently, the sensor-amplifier.
