This mod for the SZR660 headlight overcomes voltage drop from dirty switches which makes the lights very dim. It uses existing wires where they don't cause volt drop to make a neat solution. It requires reasonable soldering skill.
1- Trace the cable from the ignition switch to a connection block behind the headlight. Find the red wire leading to the other side of this con block and strip off a quarter inch of sleeve. (this should show as 12 v with ign off)
2- Buy 12 volt relay SP 8 amps (£5), 6 amp wire and spades, one that allows two wire to connect together.
3- Build as shown with 3 wires to light about 8" long and leave the other long. (solder and crimp spades)
4- Feed the 3 wires through rubber cover. (only do when you're sure it's working)
5- pull off brown earth wire and connect it to new coupling spade and reconnect to earth tab.
6- Pull off bulb wire and connect new spades to incoming wire and bulb.
7- Hold 4th new wire onto red wire and test that light works as it should.
8- Wrap relay and any bare wire and connectors in insulating tape as water tight as possible.
9- Cut 4th wire to length and solder to red wire.
10- Repeat for other light.
