Alex,

 

The white connector (circled) is the tap for the #86 relay terminal. This allows use of your Driving Lights only when the high beams are "on".

The wire from your (+) battery to the #30 relay terminal should be fused (15A).

 

Here is a sketch that may help you with installing relays for your lights.

 

Happy Holidays,

I installed one of these harnesses in my 1970 BMW 1600 to solve the relay problem for my headlights.  Inexpensive and well made.  Found in on Amazon - Universal H4 9003 Relay Harness Conversion kit Complete with Ceramic Sockets H6054 H5054 H6054LL 6014 6052 6053.  Search for it on Amazon.

Sorry...thought your 1600 body came with only 6 fuses.

Here's some help with the 12-fuse... almost the same, but twice as fun!

These sketches are for the later square-light cars, so the color coding or fuse numbers might be different, but the circuit is mostly universal.

Cheers,

John

I'll take better pictures so you guys can see what I have in concrete.

Maybe we have a loose cannon, lol.

Thanks Ray. I hope I dont get overbilled for the job, what am I looking at?

 

100$ labor over that? more?

It should be a simple matter of just unplugging the two plugs at the headlamps, plugging the harness into one female headlamp  plug and plugging the two females ceramic plugs into the headlamps themselves. That's likely all that is needed. I suggest doing it yourself 😎

John will be along shortly with an exquisitely drawn colorful diagram! 😊

The wire gauge looks to be on the light side. Try to keep the wire lengths as short as possible.

Have fun...do it yourself and save the $$$.

Cheers,

In any case I bought it, it arrives on Jan 13. How will I bear the wait???
