Well, I got a chance to drive the westy after dark for the first time.
I must say, those are some of the most dismal headlights I've ever seen!

So, last night I gathered up enough parts to do the headlight relay thing,
and tonight I'll try and do it...

I'll run 2 10 gauge wires (fused of course) from the battery to the front
of the bus.
One of the wires will be dedicated headlight power, and the other I will
connect
to a terminal block so I've got a good electrically sturdy place to connect
accessories that need to be hot all the time. I will also connect the wire thru
an extra relay and then to a second terminal block. I'll set up the relay
to energize
with key on, so the second block will be hot only with key on for
accessories that
like it that way.

Sooo... I figured I would route the wires out of the battery box through
the same
grommet as the main +12 cable. From there I will route it forward under the van
and bring it back up inside the cab... where?

I looked underneath the front for a minute and didn't see any obvious easy
places
to get the wires back into the cab and under the dash.
Can someone clue me in where a good place might be where I can slip 2 #10's in
alongside something else without drilling any holes?

Maybe someone who has done this already can save my aging bones a few minutes
under the van. (-:

Thanks much for any tips
