Dipped beam wires

Postby Graham W » Mon Oct 22, 2018 3:18 am

The LED lightbar ive fitted on my Pathy has a switch for on/off and the activate relay wire is on the sidelight wire.

The healights are HID/HUD things and the wiring behind the light is tighter than my brothers wallet!!

Id prefer the activate wire to be on the dipped or main beam lights.
The sidelight wire is only about 1mm cable.

Ive ordered up some 4 inch 200w Cree LED lights to go on the front grill.
The existing relay for the LED lightbar has two outputs so no messing about with rewiring.

Soooo where do you all take your feeds from? Fuse box? Was thinking of getting a piggyback fuse wire ??? Gotta find the pesky fuse under the bonnet 1st lol

So for others information, I set to the truck this afternoon.

Hunting down the fuse info on internet is useless. No info
and the user manual just as great.
If you are an auto technician and want to know the ohm’s and
wire coloures there’s info ! Lol

I took apart the square ‘hidden’ box lid, which in itself is
a be@tch to do, the gently lifted the board out.
All the relays and fuses are upside down, ?? Keep water off??

Printed nicely on the board are the fuses.
I fed a 17amp cable from the hole on my drivers side RHD
from the switch already installed and joined onto a piggy back 10amp
fuse for the RH Main beam.



Was able to neatly feed the wire alongside the conduit OEM.

So now I can turn the LED lightbar off or have on with the main
Beam.
I left my feed from the side light so at some point I can fit a switch
For the option to switch the Bar on without headlight.
