New headlights, wiring

[Barry Ingram]

I finally installed better headlights in my jimmy. Purchased from lmc with a new power harness , relays .

Positive- considerably brighter
Negative - not plug and play as I thought at time of purchase.

I did mine a few months back, new lamps and the heavy duty harness. It made a huge difference!

yesterday I went through and hooked up a relay for the low beams to light up along with the high beams. also hooked up some small led back up lights so that I can finally see what’s behind me when I’m backing up.

Thats a good idea! I may also add low/high beam in tandem relay . I assume a huge visibility improvement

how would you wire the relay to make both high and low come on when hit high beams @Vegablazer90?

It was fairly straight forward. I watched this VIDEO prior and then hooked up the relay. On the relay I used, pin 30 is constant 12v, pin 85 to ground, pin 87 to the low beam and 86 to the high beam (if I remember correctly...I know the first time I did it I had it backwards and on low they were both energized so I swapped them out). All in all it took me about 45 mins and that’s with zip-tying everything together nice and neat. I know just enough about wires and mechanics to get me into trouble so please do more research and don’t rely on just my word!111

Put a kit in my 89. Then it worked like every vehicle I ever had/drove before it...
