Ensure optimal performance of your vehicle’s lighting system with this top quality 5-pin headlamp relay, specifically designed for 12-volt Volkswagen models. This relay handles the switching between high and low beam headlights, reducing load on the headlight switch and improving electrical reliability—particularly important for classic vehicles where switchgear can be more sensitive to current load.
Compatible with a wide range of classic and later VW vehicles, this relay features clearly marked terminal pins for straightforward installation:
56 – Connects to light switch (switched live)
30 – Connects to fuse box (constant live)
S – Connects to dip switch (switched ground/negative)
56a – Connects to high beam circuit
56b – Connects to low beam circuit
Whether you`re restoring a Beetle, upgrading your Baywindow bus, or maintaining a Type 25, this 5-pin relay provides reliable and long-lasting headlight control, and is ideal for use with both sealed beam and halogen conversions.
