Hey fellas I just bought a red top optima.....and I'm wondering as it has the screw terminal on the side could I just run the the power wire from my Jdm headlight relay to it? sounds like a dum question I know just don't wanna run my battery dead..

yea, should be fine

**RAZ_76** · 08-30-2008, 11:13 PM

Yes you can and you should for a cleaner look.

**spdracr** · 08-30-2008, 11:36 PM

i read your question like 5 times and i still cant seem to understand what you are trying to do

**dwjp90** · 08-30-2008, 11:41 PM

hes got a battery that has the pos and neg terminals on the top, and post and neg skrew holes on the side

He is doing the relay trick so his low and high beam stay on at the same time.

i got that part but i thought if he does feed it straight from the battery then it will stay lit ?? i guess its just me i need some sleep lol

lol, relay that powers on when the car is ona and when the igh beams are active (dpst relay)

Just you, the lows draw power from the highs and the highs draw power directly from the battery.

^^ Somebody had a long day...... It'll be a much cleaner look....

yeah i just wired my headlights with the relay and i understand what he was talkin about now, for some reason i forgot that one of the terminals on the relays goes straight to the battery with a fuse, i will be getting a red top very shortly and i will definitely do it that way as well

here is my harness

good luck with yours

**02redgalant** · 08-31-2008, 05:48 PM

nice work..I bought mine offa guy off 3g effin mofo did the worst solders i've seen and to make it worse he wrapped it with electrical tape..so I spent the last hour resoldering and heat shrinking

**spdracr** · 08-31-2008, 05:58 PM

this whole setup cost me 24 bucks

i wanted to heat shrink all the wires after heat shrinking the connections but i didnt have anymore heat shrink so i left it like this and i will probably use wire loom

**02redgalant** · 08-31-2008, 06:01 PM

how are you running power line to the passenger side?

i ran an 18 gauge wire over the rad support for now but once i buy some loom i will tuck it inside the rad support and it should be hidden and cleaner lookin

where do you get that harness from, i want it..

**02redgalant** · 09-07-2008, 01:53 PM

lol he made it himself

**02redgalant** · 09-07-2008, 02:06 PM

just a question I hooked up mine on one side only...both sets of headlights the lows stay on when I kick on the high beams...do we really need two relays?

**greddy** · 09-07-2008, 02:16 PM

Is this the only way to get the highs and lows to stay on together, running the power wire straight to the battery?
