It's a cheap upgrade idea for non-purist muscle car owners.

Classic cars are essentially old vehicles. Nevertheless, old is gold, which is why many fans and enthusiasts found themselves trying to restore or upgrade these classics. Jedidiah Scott of Scott’s Speed Shop dearly loves his 1970 Dodge Charger. After around seven years of ownership, he is still making various upgrades to his classic restomod, the latest of which resulted in brighter vintage headlights.

This certain 1970 Dodge Charger rolled off the assembly line on October 6, 1969. It wasn’t a fancy version of the Charger, but a no-frills model finished in a sea of EB5 Blue. When it rolled off the factory, it featured a 318 two-barrel engine, a 904 automatic transmission, as well as an 8 1/4 rear end. Inside, it featured a bench seat and a column shift, absolutely, although it came with the optional power steering and the A73 Special Value Package.

The Charger initially wounded up in a junkyard, but then found itself used as a parts car. But the car only parted with its rear glass and soon became a property of Scott’s friend. The blue Charger eventually ended up in Scott’s hand for just around $3,000 in 2015. At the time, the Charger was a bare shell with a missing rear section. Scott managed to get the necessary parts and restored the shell-only 1970 Charger into his “ratty blue pig” he dubbed as “Jezebel.” After seven though, Scott is still upgrading the patina-laden classic muscle.

With a 505 Stroker big block engine now serving as its core, Jezebel the blue 1970 Dodge Charger needs some upgrades and enhancements from time to time. In his latest video uploaded on his Scott’s Speed Shop YouTube channel, revealed one cheap upgrade that his classic muscle car recently received. Jezebel still has her factory headlights, but they’re not as bright anymore.

But instead of replacing the factory headlights with brighter xenon and halogen lamps, Scott opted for a cheaper option – a relay and a pre-made plug-and-play harness from Jegs. The package from Scott’s friend Rod also includes a handy diagram that should make it easier for anyone to install the relay and the harness onto their drives.

Scott didn’t take too long to install the relay and the harness. He compared the brightness before and after the installation (both day and night). The result was mesmerizing, with old school headlights gaining more brightness thanks to the cheap solution.
