EB headlight relay kit

[Cruisemax]

Installed the relay kit this morning,very easy to do. I would have never known about this if it weren't for this forum and all the information shared by the experienced owners. Thanks!

I did it a few weeks ago and, just like you, I would not have known about it except for this forum. Nice to have a little help from our friends. Ride safe!

I'm just wondering.......... today I took my 2010 Roadster in for the recall on the "head light relay". I got home and took the seat off and the side covers. They installed a small relay on the left side and on the right there is a 20A fuse holder with a small picture of headlights on it. I looked in the stock fuse panel and there is still a 20A fuse for the headlights installed. I wonder if this is basically same as EB kit?

I would dislike to spend money on the EB kit and I have already had the kit done another words.

Where does the aditional relay harness plug in, the only thing I would suggest is quizz the dealer and ask if this mod takes the load of the ignition switch from what I have heard and read it does but in saying that one guy posted that after his recall mod had been done his battery went flat, It could have been the a clueless Mechanic bad boched up the recall upgrade.
I would defiantly be quizzing your dealer, also is there any difference in the brightness of your lights My only other concern is where does it patch in cos if it is before the dip switch but after the ignition the dip switch would now be the next weakest link and would also make sense that they were able to use JUST ONE relay and if that is what they have done then I would buy the EB kit or as I have and other's aswell have done make your own for about half less than the EB kit ( he has to make money out of it)
I hope this helps

It sounds like I need to do some digging and find out where the recall kit was connected to and from. Then I will hopefully know it's intended use and if it is a Triumph issued EB kit. lol

I can't seem to get anything out of this dealer. I mainly talk to the service manager and he doesn't talk much and tell you the truth he gives me the impression he wouldn't know anything about the recall kit.

No I have not road the bike at night yet so I wouldn't know if the headlights are brighter. Didn't really think to just take a simple look yesterday and see if they are brighter.

Hey Mully-the difference in light output is great enough that you can see it in the daytime, too.

Which one, exactly?

I might be stupid or something but I can't tell a difference. Geezz I wished I had looked at the brightness before I them do the recall. I'll take a look the next time I ride at night.

that won't solve the ignition switch load issue but will reduce the load a bit due to lower drawing current and if you are thinking of going HID go a 6000K unit also get the single element servo Hi / Lo beam, it actually moves the globe back and forth so you don't get the momentary darkness as the HID globe heats up
