    Since I have a one-wire alternator I removed my voltage regulator. Since I have no regulator...I gutted the old regulator to hide my headlight relays inside the regulator housing. I used factory headlight connector feed from the junkyard to trigger the relay wiring and headlight feed. I did hot-glue the wires on the plastic voltage regulator pig tail to make it look like it correct...other than the wrong color wires. If I decide to go back to stock all I have to do is unplug the relays and plug in the factory harness. No butchering up the wiring harness.

    Pretty ' Slick ' Mr.Thomas:
    This is a clever example of creative camouflage and ' long term planning ' . Looks stock.
