Does anyone know if the Moss Kit Relay & Wiring Kit 117-515 is one kit for each headlight or one kit for both headlights? It comes with one relay for high beam and one relay for low beam plus one power fuse.

Thanks

Just a thought, though, you may want to consider using two of them. I used to run a two relay setup, until the fuse opened up while I was driving on a windy road down a mountain at about midnight. Not an experience I care to repeat!

So I now have 4 relays, one for each filament, and two circuit breakers, one for each side.

PS, I originally thought the fuse went just due to old age (it had been in there over 10 years and was not visibly blown); but the replacement let go the next time I took a long trip at night. Apparently the fuse holder contacts had corroded just enough to get hot under prolonged use, and would eventually melt the solder inside the fuse.

On my 6 I used two relays and four fuses.

It just began to snow in Connecticut - the TR3 is officially "off the road" until Spring :-(
