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

Your not reading MY instructions.  No where in  MY instructions on MY
_Vanagon Headlamp Relay  Upgrade_ (http://members.aol.com/Fkc43/hdltrela.htm)
webpage do I say the "yellow and white 12 gauge wires that exit the  ignition"  The
12 gauge yellow and white wires your looking for come from  the HEADLIGHT
DIMMER SWITCH  to the fuse/relay panel !  Please read  the instructions more
carefully.
