I have a base 01 1500 and picked up new sport head light assemblies cheap , can I swap out the base headlight harness for a sport harness or will i have to change something else for all 4 lamps to work and not burn down thanks

 

I think the harness would also have to include the PDC.... as I think the highbeams are controlled via relay on the "real" sport trucks.

 

There's a relay kit sold on LMC just for this purpose. I've thought about doing this but my headlights are fine and that's one area I won't mess with (for safety).

 

Thanks but what is PDC ?

 

Power distribution center. Black box under the hood behind the battery. You can check and see if the headlight relay spots already have wires in 'em.... I am pretty sure the harnesses are different though.... I *think* LMC Truck, or someone... makes a conversion relay harness? But, not 100% on that.

 

Daniel Stern Lighting has a conversion kit. The RIKRAM I think.

 

LMC does make harnesses for changing the headlights over to using relays, however, I believe their setups are for either non-sport or sport style headlights (two different harnesses). Since my truck has the non-sport headlight harness, I ordered that LMC harness some time ago, but have not had time to install it. In the meantime, I decided to convert over to sport headlights and I've already picked up the sport headlight assemblies.

 

Thanks for the info. I just took a look at his web site (https://www.danielsternlighting.com/.../products.html) and noticed that the RIKRAM kit likely has components to make up your own relay harness without the wiring and the HARN-RIKRAM is the actual complete harness. Do you (or anyone else) know of anyone using this Daniel Stern harness?

 

I got the kit to use relays for the stock headlights. I haven't had time to install it yet. Nice quality components though. If I had read his site I would have bought sport headlights instead of new stock ones.
