you, Frank C, a while back and the drivers side is working but the
passenger side isn't. I'm not very good with automotive electrical wiring
so trying to figure out what I did wrong isn't going to be easy. Maybe
someone out there can give me a little insight on left and right as far as
wiring goes. Don't see any burnt out fuses and I tried switching the bulbs
and the passenger side is out regardless of which bulb I put in. Any
insight will be greatly appreciated.

I had the same problem with the kit for my '84 westy.  I finally figured
out how to wire it up after searching the archives and got some very good
directions there.  I just tried to find my old email I sent to Frank
Condelli explaining what I did but I cant find it.  What I do remember is
that the relays go between the dimmer switch and the fuse, the direction I
got from Frank put the relay after the fuse and therefore only provided
power to one light.  If you have the Bentley you should be able to figure
out which wires go to the fuse block from the dimmer switch.

Sorry I cant explain more as I cannot remember all the details, but if you
cannot figure it out from the archives and the Bentley I can take mine
appart and try to explain what to do.
