    This should help explain it

    Just don’t use vampire clips like that guy does off the high beam. You can just run a fuse tap to the fuse box under the hood to the high beam fuse

    basically you just need something to send + to the relay. That’s all the switch is doing. A relay is just an electromagnet that closes when power is applied.

    Okay... all you youngsters on here. I want to buy some parts. Guys uses Zelle. I try setting up a Zelle account. Zelle doesn't know my credit union. Zelle don't like credit cards. How the funk does one get past this impasse? Just trying to spend money...

    Did a quick search, looks like Zelle might take a debit card instead of a credit card. So that could be an option but maybe one you don't like/want to do.

    Ask seller for other payment methods like PayPal and try that instead.

    Tell the seller you are an old grandpa and see if you can mail him a check?

    Give money to someone else that lives in the year 2023 and have them send it via Zelle? (OK sorry that's mean but I have to poke a little fun, this is the Internet and I believe I'm required by law to talk smack lol.)

    That's all I got, good luck.

    I am VICTORIOUS! Locker works. No fire. All is well in the universe.

    Relay was toast. Had a MUCH better one in a box, so... rewired in a new relay and fixed the wires down below. Winner, winner, chicken diner!

    Negative ghostrider. Zelle is for scammers, there's a reason why TW recommends never using it.

    There are no payment protections on it either. And frankly, if your seller can't figure out how to get a free Venmo or PayPal account, then they're not worth it.

    Interesting... The guy is highly recommended on here and others I trust have purchased from him. What gives. Oh well. It was $350 I didn't really want to spend just yet.

    Doesn't matter-I can't use Zelle. He really should embrace another platform; but, I understand it is his prerogative. I have a business too. I don't want to accept CC's because it's an ordeal and costs money, but....

    What I have is money. What I don't have is Zelle. Someone out there has a great product and will make it easy to spend my $$$$$... This.

    Okay back to the foglights thing, I am probably just going to end up getting yellow but I am still thinking about it. So I am going to need to buy a kit that has the bezels and wiring harness and the switch on the inside. Can I just get like any kit on ebay or should I get it from somewhere else
