![]() I never thought that it would take such ahigh voltage to power a car headlight. Alittle blue spark jumped from the inverter’s pins to the test lead on my meter.It read over 900 volts AC! I connected the output to an oscilloscope and itreally is 900 Volts RMS, 50 hertz. Iconnected the inverter to a battery and measured the output voltage pins. The inverter’s output voltage is the most interesting. They willmelt before the 10-amp fuse blows. ![]() The little 12 volt DC wires are 20-gauge size. This is the first device that I own that has a fuse on the sidethat is usually grounded. The 12-volt dc input has a 10-amp inline fuseon the black wire. Its design is so cheesythat I contemplated about making a new one. The inverter is a separate little blue box that needs help.It is not sealed. What is interesting is the inverter that powers up the halopart of the headlight. The link below is an infomercial forthe headlights. The headlights are made from real glass notplastic. The color is white and I can turn them off sothey look like a standard bulb. These are the new fancy type with a halo ring.They don’t flash or turn colors. I also replaced all thehardware the headlight adjustment screws, the spring, and retaining ringscrews. I replaced the headlight bucketswith new ones because two of them had holes from rust. The photo below showsthe headlight buckets and mounting plates. The two sheet metal pieces did not separate when I released thepliers so I am good to go. The extra weight of on the front end would make mycar too slow. George, I decided to remove the vice-grips from thefront valance and fender. Installation of the Front Headlight Assembly Part 1:
