How do I increase the brightness of my car lights?
Replace your worn headlights or capsules with new ones: Headlights grow dim over time, so replacing old capsules will usually result in a brighter beam. Some headlights, like long-lasting HID bulbs, can actually lose as much as 70 percent of their intensity by the time they finally burn out.
Why do you need a relay for LED lights?
Another reason you may want a relay is for the creative ways you can use electrical currents from things other than a physical switch. Let’s say you want have your LED Light Bar come on with your high beams, or reverse lights, for example. Read more about that below.
What happens when you switch two relays at once?
Each relay activation will cause the light to toggle. Switching two relays at one time is like flipping 2 switches at once….with the same result. This sample is particularly useful since you can replace one relay (as shown in the diagram) with a physical light switch.
Can a relay be used to deactivate a light bulb?
When the relay turns on, the light comes on. Only one power wire is switched with this sample using the COM (common) and NO (normally open) connections of a relay. This sample demonstrates how a relay can be used to deactivate a light bulb. When the relay turns off, the light comes on.
How many relays are needed to turn on a light?
Both relays must be activated for the light to turn on. This sample demonstrates how three relays are wired in series to activate a light. All three relays must be activated for the light to turn on.

How are relays and light switches the same?
This sample is exactly the same as a 3-way light switch, the only difference being each physical switch is replaced by a relay. Operationally, it works the same way. Each relay activation will cause the light to toggle. Switching two relays at one time is like flipping 2 switches at once….with the same result.

Where can I buy changeover switch relays?
This post covers the changeover switch relays covered in the range of auto electrical products at Arc Components Limited. The relays supplied in-store are configured to DIN 72552 terminal standardisation and examples can be found in the switch relays section. What is a changeover relay?
