Motorcycle H4 Headlight Relay Kits

Installation instructions are here

Finally! An easy way to get a lot more light from your headlight. Adding relays will make any bulb put out it’s full intensity. Your headlight bulb’s Voltage drop after installing this kit will be a mere .1 Volt! (that’s point one Volt) You will be amazed at your stock bulb’s output! Even on a brand new bike you will notice an incredible difference in the headlight output.

Easy Plug-In Install: Most H4 Kits just plug into your bike’s existing wiring. No cutting of your bike’s wiring is needed. You plug into your headlight bulb socket and headlight bulb, connect to the bike battery and you’re all set!

Perfect Set of Components: Two high quality relays are provided - one for low beam, one for high beam. Included is a weather proof inline fuse holder, two fuses, and enough cable ties to strap the wiring to your bike. All wiring is high temp cross linked type.

Relay kits work fine with modulators! - just make sure the modulator goes directly on the bulb(s) and the Kit’s H4 sockets go onto the modulator(s).

About the Coupler Connection - PLEASE READ

Most H4 Kits now have an option for either an H4 Coupler to plug into your stock bulb socket for HI and LO beam switching. As an alternative you can remove the H4 Coupler and make a more secure and tidy connection using a pair of Posi-Locks or you can solder these wires. There are some pros and cons for each as I will note here:

Option 1 - H4 Coupler:

PROS: Easier install, just plugs into your old H4 Socket. Easy to remove later if you sell the bike. Easy to reconnect the old H4 socket to the bulb if you have a problem with the Kit. I would consider a Relay Kit a permanent install on that bike so NOT using the Coupler makes sense to me.

CONS: Coupler/Socket combo makes a bulky unit you have to wrap and tie up somewhere safely. It’s more difficult to fit inside a crowded headlight shell. Old headlight H4 socket must be taped up to avoid shorting exposed terminals.

h4coupler-socket


Option 2 - Posilock Connection:

PROS: Removes the bulky coupler/socket unit. Avoids poor connections with an old corroded plug. Makes installing inside a headlight shell easier with less bulk. Avoids any potential shorting of old H4 socket terminals.

CONS: Requires cutting off bike’s old H4 Socket. Not as easy to remove Kit later if you sell the bike.  Posi-Locks join the hot wires from your old headlight to the Kit’s 2 coupling wires. These connections switch the new relays using your HI/LO switch.

Posilock Option with Relay Kits

You get - 2 Posilocks PL1416 and 2 pieces of dual wall 3/8” shrinktube

h4connection-posi

Install the Posilocks, cover with shrinktube, heat, and you have neat sealed connections.

h4connection-posi-2


Option 3 - Solder/Shrinkwrap Connection:

Requires crimper or soldering skills. You can connect these wires in many different ways. For example you could use a set of connector housings, either sealed or unsealed.

 If you use insulated butt connectors, please do not think that pinching them with pliers is good enough. These connections don’t pass high current but are important for headlight operation.


My Recommendation: I believe that a Relay Kit should be a permanent part of your bike. I like neat and tidy installs and I don’t like old plugs, bulky connectors that are unecessary, or possible bad connections. Installing sealed Posi-Lock connectors instead of the H4 Coupler really cleans up the area around the back of the headlight or inside the shell.

H4 Dual Headlight Relay Kit with LO Beam On/Off Switching

h4d-lobeam-switch_0311

This Kit is specially for those who want the ability to cut their headlight at startup, or for any other reason (low battery etc).

This Kit will switch the LO beam of BOTH headlights using a SPST switch.

See my Switches Page for a switch for this Kit.

Choose a Kit with switching connectors according to the switch you will use. If you want to mate with the Handlebar Switch, choose the Bullet Connectors Kit. 1/4 inch pushons will connect to many switches that have 1/4” tabs.

Switching takes place on the low current LO beam relay trigger wire, not on the headlight bulb wires, thereby giving you full power to both headlights when ON, without any Voltage drop inherent in in-line bulb lead switching.

Fusepanel Connection option - main lead wires are longer and sheathed to 6 in (15 cm) from ends.

Choice of H4 Coupler or a Sealed Posilock option for relay triggering - see H4 Coupler Connection above.

3 Circuit Solution option has a main lead connector to plug into my 3CS-HD.

 

H4 Dual Relay Kit with LO Beam ON/OFF Switching (1/4” pushons) $87.95 

Coupler Option
Main Leads Connection

H4 Dual Relay Kit with LO Beam ON/OFF Switching (bullet connectors) $87.95 

Coupler Option
Main Leads Connection

   

Note, bullet connection has shorter switching wires because of wiring on the barswitch, to avoid excessive wire length. This Kit assumes you will use my Handlebar Switch or equivalent with 4mm bullets.


H4 Dual Headlight Relay Kit with One Headlight Cut Adapter Built in

Same H4 Dual Kit but with built in wiring for a Headlight Cut Switch (DPST). H4 Headlight cut adapters only are available separately here.

This Kit cuts both beams of one H4 Socket, in fact the one with the shorter leads. If you want to cut the right headlight, bring in the Kit’s main wiring from the right side. To cut the left headlight, bring in the main wiring from the left side.

You can buy a DPST switch for this Kit here (Toggle) or here (Rocker).

PLEASE NOTE - YOU CAN’T USE THE SPST ON/OFF BARSWITCH WITH THIS KIT.

Fusepanel Connection option - main lead wires are longer and sheathed to 6 in (15 cm) from ends.

Choice of H4 Coupler or a Sealed Posilock option for relay triggering - see H4 Coupler Connection above.

3 Circuit Solution option has a main lead connector to plug into my 3CS-HD.
