...over the grounds etc. too, but other than the bulkhead connector I didn't see anything horrible. I decided to ordered the headlightrelaykit from "Crackedback" and finally got it installed on the 67. It fixed my problem with dim headlights, it also fixed the problem of poorly operating...

Crackedback, I"d like to buy two of your headlightrelaykits and ask about another relaykit and the ammeter bypass. I tried to PM you but your inbox is full. Thanks
Hello,
My first post in this section of the forum. I have a 67 Charger that has had dim headlights since 1999 when I bought it. I have checked grounds and I think the plugs on the back of the lights too and never found any issues. Could this problem be the bulkhead or a headlight switch...
FYI for all intents and purposes the illumination part has nothing to do with the rotation of the headlights themselves.
Yes, it could be the ground but more likely it is the power side of the circuit.
As you probably know the relaykit will take the load off of your headlight switch.

A special shoutout to member Crackedback. I bought one of his headlightrelaykits and recently got around to installing it.
It is a perfectly produced product, I cannot begin to emphasis the quality and workmanship that went into making this
The instructions are excellent
My headlights are...
...OEM location, I'll make them to any reasonable length on a custom basis. Give me the length of each wire and you'll get them right at that spec.
My shipping is never more than about $20 in the Con US. I sent a set of cables and a headlightrelaykit to Mass from California for $18, IIRC...
Hey everyone thanks for any help you can give. I have a 66 coronet and am trying to track down a headlight delay relay. I’m using a Ron frances wiring kit. Will a 70 coronet relay work? Or are they too different. I can’t seem to find a 66 one.
Headlight switches have an internal self resetting breaker. This may be the issue.
There are switch rebuilder guys on eBay.
The bulkhead check is good advice.
I would get the high current path off the bulkhead and switch. @Crackedback has a fantastic plug and play relaykit that will increase...
You may be right. I have improved my skills with soldering over the past few years.
In 2013, a car club member tried to help me put relays in my Charger. His efforts resulted in some really weird problems with the headlight doors and dimmer switch. It may have had to do with grounding of the...
If this is the case, what is the fix? Is it the headlight switch leaking power? Does that mean I'd need to replace that switch?
I don't know if my headlight switch is hot to the touch. You wrote "...now keeps my headlights flickering on and off..." Did you mean that now it keeps the headlights...
In 2013, I finally gave in to a friend that kept bugging me to modify my car to use relays to trigger the headlights.
The car is a 1970 Charger with electric headlight doors.
I don't recall the exact wiring changes but he intercepted the wiring paths and added one relay each for low beams and...
Headlightrelaykits that are essentially plug and play.
There is a substantial increase in voltage at the headlight, increasing light output performance. Light output degrades exponentially with voltage input reductions. These kits also take headlight amp loads off the fragile bulkhead...

Been reading @Nacho-RT74 posts and he is pretty convincing that most high draw loads should come from the alternator side and not the battery side...
It was in the last place that I looked.
That phrase cracks me up. Of course it was. Once you find it, you quit looking.
I think I fixed it.
I wired in a Bosch relay and gave it another test.
I put terminal ends on it that allowed me to connect to the factory wiring without cutting the stock...
