<P>As someone who screwed up this the first time myself! I can tell you the wires are inside a black plastic sleeve running along side the rest of them. </P>

<DIV></DIV>&gt;Date: Thu, 6 May 2004 21:18:41 EDT
<DIV></DIV>&gt;
<DIV></DIV>&gt;I attempted to install a headlight relay kit in my 89 Westy. I'm attempting
<DIV></DIV>&gt;to upgrade to brighter bulbs and bought a relay kit from a reputable dealer. I
<DIV></DIV>&gt;followed the instructions without problems until I got to the part where I
<DIV></DIV>&gt;have to access wires exiting the ignition.&nbsp;&nbsp;Both the kit's instructions and those
<DIV></DIV>&gt;I found at Frank Condeli's website tell me to splice and reroute yellow and
<DIV></DIV>&gt;white 12 gauge wires that exit the ignition. Unfortunately, the only 12 gauge
<DIV></DIV>&gt;wires exiting the ignition are red and black. No yellow or white. I attempted
<DIV></DIV>&gt;to use the red and black wires but without success. I'm not an electrician. I
<DIV></DIV>&gt;need specific instructions that work. Can anyone help?
