I have the single headlight, so I got that kit. I assume the 2006 Classic has the dual lights, huh?

the 2010 up changed to an extra relay so i don't think many of the ignition failed if they did i will soon hear about it

My understsnding was it was partially fixed on the Roadsters, but not made completely safe, so I did the repairs.

the headlights high current draw is what takes out the ignition switch i put on two relays and switched it to battery draw.
there are a lot of relocation switches most work good until they don't.
whether or not it will help can't say until i see the info on it.
eastern beaver kit uses smaller relays and probably can only be purchased from eb is eb still around?
installed mine a long long time ago and still running good miles around 60,000 miles.
there are a lot of old threads on this if you can find in the search box.
DECOSSE USED TO MAKE THE (SORRY CAPS) set ups but had some trouble finding good parts.

Ok thanks turbo .. yeah EB are still going I found the R3 specific kit (no thanks to guru mongler ) might buy it but I'd rather find out what those relays are so I can make my own up .

My '11 Roadster ignition went out, but I was able to salvage it. I did a homemade Eastern Beaver kit (probably not necessary on the '11 and a waste of time, but didn't know any better at that time). It was a real PIA and afterwards decided the savings vs amount of time wasn't worth it. If you can still get one from EB do that....

How to remove ignition switch from Roadster?

My switch is going bad and I need to quit putting off the repair. I suspect that one or more wires have come loose or are loose and just barely making enough contact (most of the time). My question is what's involved in getting the switch out? I know that I'll be running into some bolts with...

Thanks for the advice and link, I know what you mean about time and hassle Vs money but 90 quid for a pair of relays is a bit much for my budget especially as I do a similar thing for a living lol .... I'm still in decided

Here is a post from 10 years ago on the Homemade EB Headlight kit. Home Made EB headlight relay harness
Hanso started it, then DEcosse got involved. I made mine following DEcosse' instructions. Still going.

Perfect thanks gregger
