Headlights On An 02 Damon Escaper

Recommended Posts

I have a 2002 Damon with headlights that look the same as Ford uses on LTDs & Crown Vics,very under candled powered to be of much use. Can the stock bulb be upgraded to a more powerful bulb with stock headlight wiring circuit. Help-half blind in the night.

Before looking at that, turn on the engine and headlights and check voltage at the head lights. In many cases, you will find what is 14 VDC at the battery or alternator is sometimes under 12 VDC at the headlights.

If that is your issue, clearly the bulbs will be dim. Easy fix is to power the head lights through a relay. Use the head light switch to open/close the relay. Run a large-gauge wire from the battery or other large-gauge power source to the relay and then large gauge wires to the head lights themselves. 14 VDC will be a lot brighter than 12 VDC.
