Default Dim/Dip Relay

Hi Guys,

This going to be a two part question.

Is it best to stick with headlight set up use the dim/dip relay or can i do away with them.

If i have to keep using them, whats the relay code as seem to have misplaced them or i've mixed them up with some spare relays i have collected over the years,

Thanks inadvance

Terry

Why would you want to do away with it,surely you need to be able to dip your lights.

All the dim/dip relay does is, when the side lights are turned on, it puts 6v into the dip part of your main headlights.
The idea was to make the car more visible, most modern cars don't use this system anymore.
