In the shed. Making engines for ME
I have made a number of searches but not found the answer I am looking for.
I am currently using the Halogen Crystal headlamps also 120% brighter Halogen bulbs incorporating two relays re-wired the main beam harness to ensure no voltage drop at the bulb connection.

Now trying to sort the dipped circuit.
I would like to retain the Dim Dipped control circuit but ensure that when I have dipped switched on they also have no voltage drop as I have done with the main beam.

Looking at the wiring diagram it would be straightforward to remove the dim dip circuit and just feed the dipped in a similar manor to the main beam using two relays.

But me being me and not taking the easy way I want to retain the dim dip.

Has anyone done this mod?
 
Is anyone able to verify if the method I am looking at will function correctly or have I got it all wrong?.
I am looking at the wiring diagram for a 2001 110 TD5 CSW.

I want to stop the voltage drop to the headlights when on dipped beam but retain the Dim Dip facility.
I have already installed 4 relays two of which are controlling the main beam fed directly from the battery using a wire with a large cross sectional area to minimise the voltage drop.
The other two relays will control the dipped beam when full dipped is on (as opposed to dim dipped).

Looking at the wiring diagram the connection a blue wire with a red stripe from the Switch column (S123) to the relay DIM-DIP (R126). Disconnecting this wire from the relay DIM-DIP (R126) and using it to feed the control on both relays. The wire currently connected to the dipped beam at the bulbs will remain as is to control the dim dip
Connecting the relays in the normal way, I believe this will give me full power to the dipped beam.
Will it work?
