I didn=92t know about the Moss kit. I like that it doesn=92t require cuttin=
g into the existing harness. I made up my own kit, with an enclosure and se=
parate fuses for high/low beam power supplies so I can=92t lose both with o=
ne blown fuse. Had I found the Moss kit I probably would have gone that rou=
te.

Subject: Re: [TR] TR6 dimmer switch
Just to add to this thread: if the headlight bulbs are either the halogen t=
ype or regular incandescent, consider adding a relay into the mix. The stoc=
k switch isn't up to handling the load, especially when using high beams. M=
y old (original) switch got so hot that the plastic housing melted and the =
contacts would separate causing the lights to go off.
You can buy the whole kit from Moss (p/n 117-515) for $35. Easy enough to i=
nstall and better than factory.
