DJ,
I helped write that FAQ, and figured out that the taps were not needed after I did a couple cars. I have tried to get the thing changed, but have been unable. I will ask the Webmaster again today.

Thanks Mike, the thread you provided makes the job cleaner. I wasn't too hot on the crimp on taps called out in the original FAQ.

Sounds like you've found the FAQ, here's a thread with this info for reference:

Positive current (holes, versus electrons) flow in the arrow direction: from the wide end to the narrow end (or, from the end with no band to the end with the band). |

Thank you Verell, that explains the wide end of the triangle in the diagram facing the 'anode'end of the diode.
The flow is from anode to cathode.Correct?

'current' as usually thought of as flowing from a battery's positive terminal thru a circuit to ground will flow thru a diode when the diode's anode is more positive than it's cathode. When the cathode is more positive than the anode, no current flows. |

I am about to do the relay mod to my 308 that leaves the headlights in the down position when using the parking/marker lights. It involves the use of two 200v/1amp diodes.
In the diagram there is a band around one end of the diode that denotes polarity (cathode) while the other is designated as anode. Which way does the current run?
Thank you, DJ |
