gq headlight upgrade for 24V safari?

Post by robbie »

been reading a few posts here with guys upgrading their headlight wiring loom and running stronger globes..

question for you guys is, can I apply this ARB wiring loom to my 24V system and lower the fuse level to 10A? would I need to change the relays?

just looking at the narva website, they have a 24V 130/90W H4 which would be nice for me..

I just get the feeling that if I apply this ARB wiring loom, something may melt :x

Work out the gauge of the wire and the max current it can handle.

If you change the relays for 24v ones you sould be OK. When you double the voltage you 1/2 the amps, that means the cable used is good for 200watt lights at 24v's. :)

It will be OK for your application. Will work even better than on a 12v vehicle. Change relays for 24v type is all.
