Default Question about hooking up the rennbay H4 headlight kit (More questions)

Not to sure what it means, Hook the 12v connection to positive post on the alternator?

Could you guys also post some pics of your fuse holders bolted to the car? Just want an idea on how to do mine

Thanks guys!

not at my car, so no photos, but I'll do it from memory.

On the back of the alternator there are some posts towards the top that have some wires attached. There are some nuts holding the wires down. I think one is a 7/8mm, the other is 10. Because you're on an S2 you may need to remove the alternator shroud. Remove one of the nuts, slip the lead from the fuse on the post, and bolt it back down. On my car the relay blocks are screwed into the wheel well just above the ignition controller on the driver's side.

Do I attach the 12v connection to the post with the blue wire leading to it?

How big an improvement is this kit? I have one sitting in a box in the corner, and am trying to decide whether it's what I'll do next!

Got them working! Strange thing tho. I have to turn the high beam lever on to shut the lights when I tuck them away. Is this normal? Otherwise when I close the lights they will stay on.

So if the headlights are down and the high beam stock is in the normal position, the lights stay on? Or is it something else?
