Default RE: Halo headlight wiring

Figured it out. Thanks all. It ended up being two problems...the ground wires on both were in the high beam position and the high beam and low beam on the driver side were switched. Go figure, they can't even make the same mistake on both lights. Anyway, my lowbeams are much better now and high are okay, but I'm going to try and figure out a way to get both bulbs on at the same time when I run the high beam.

So i this the best way to go? or is there a different way or a better way? lol im probley making this harder then it really is but when it comes to wiring i have no idea, also how do i change the pins?

here is the best way to do it and its not hard to do....sf you see a DIY telling you splice 2 wires together in the stering colum or jump the realys in the fuse box, DONT DO IT, thats how to melt wires and burn things up


i have this is posted under one of the DIY links at the top

this is to use a relay to turn on your low beam lights on when the highbeam is on this way you dont run the risk of burning out your dimmer or headlight swirch because it is the relay switching not the dimmer or headlight switch and it only costs about 15$.

First get a relay and some wire
Second hook post 30 on the realy to the positive termnal on the battry ( with a 20 amp fuse inline)
Third hook post 85 of the relay to a good ground
Fourth splice 86 into high beam ( this can be done behind one of the headlight bulbs i recomend using solder)
Fith splice 87 into low beam

and now your done and it is 100% legel at least in canada anyways (im not responcple if its not leagel where you are)if you want the option to trun this on and off(so your low beam isent always on wen highbeam is on) just hook a switch in the wire going fron 86 to highbeam and run it into your cab. this will help your low beam bulbs last longer. you can do it with a single bulb that has high and low in it too (2 headlights insted of 4) but you half to watch they dont get too hot. hope it helps

also how do i change the pins?
with a pair of needle-nose pliers...when you look at it, you'll see how they hold themselves in.
