| [title] Fit the rest of the 12V parts | |
| [* black] The lights, coil and horn should all be changed for 12V items. Make sure the new coil is connected the right way round: the "-" terminal should be connected to the maroon wire that goes to the points (assuming negative earth) | |
| [* icon_note] There's no need to change the condenser if you are sticking with the Wipac points ignition. | |
| - | [* black] If you wire the system for negative earth, then you can use LED bulbs |
| + | [* black] If you wire the system for negative earth, then you can use widely-available LED bulbs |
| [* icon_note] I tried two different LED headlamp bulbs. They were nice and bright, but both failed after a few months due to the cooling fan breaking. I'd recommend only using fanless LED bulbs. I have since found that the alternator has enough output to power a proper 55/60W H4 halogen, so I just use one of those. | |
| [* icon_caution] If you are using negative earth, then don't forget to swap the wires to the ammeter, otherwise it'll read backwards |
