2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Sport Headlight Help Please

[holmanrd]

Ok, I have spent hours searching for the answer but to no avail.



I purchased the Sport lights from Importvision and the harnesses from Suvlights (because I was afraid of doing the re-wire). When I got the wireing harness it had the plugs for the bulbs, the pos and the gound wires, and a plug that went into what i assume is the relay, and there it stops.



From there I am completely lost. How do I wire this into my stock wireing system??? Heck I bought the harness because I am electrically challenged and now I have these cool headlights and no wires. Where to I splice into the system to get the switch into the equation??



Please help if you can. Thank You.

I'm not totally familiar with the harness from SUVLights since I wired my own from scratch, so I went to the web site and looked at what they have.



I'm not sure whether you get 2 identical harnesses, once for each headlight, or it comes all as one but has 2 sets of everything. In any case, for a given headlight the harness should have 2 plugs that fit the 2 bulbs in the sport headlight, then 2 relay bases for the relays, then 1 plug that fits the original plug on the factory harness that currently plugs into the factory, single bulb headlight.



Hook up the positive and negative power leads on the harness to the battery. The plug on the harness that fits the stock, factory plug (currently plugged into the factory headlight) is connected to the factory harness plug. The 2 plugs on the harness that match the bulb sockets on the headlights are plugged into the bulbs. Then plug in the relay(s). Essentially, that's it.



The factory switches (on-off and high beam switches) now just energize the coils in the relays to snap the contacts closed in the relays. The relays provide the power directly from the battery to the 2 new headlight bulbs. I'm thinking 2 relays per sport headlight, one for the low beam and one for the high. Once you get it working, you can disconnect them and run the wires neatly and reconnect the plugs.



Hope that helps.

Thanks for the reply. With your help and the others on here I think I have it down now.



Relay plugs into the harness.

Pos & ground-self explanatory

Side marker from stock wiring goes to side marker plug on new lights

Stock (single) headlight plug goes to Blue (male) plug on harness

New 9004 & 9007 plugs on wiring harness go into new light plugs.



There in, the harness gets the signal from the stock (single) plug and relays it to the two new plugs in the harness. I sounds pretty much "plug & play"



I will find out for sure tonight when I hook it all up.

Thanks again,

Robert Holman

The 9004 and the 9007 bulbs have different squence of connectors. I believe they change postions for the ground. So if they don't work just switch the plugs on the harness to the light bulbs. You would think they would be marked???

I used the exact same setup on my truck. All you have to do is plug in the single connector I believe that it was pink in color on mine, plug it in to the existing single 9004 plug in. Then plug the other two into the new lights.

Wire up your relays to the battery and your done. Unless your truck has day time running lights you will be done, then you will have to unplug your DRL relay and make a jumper wire for it. The jumper wire allows your high beam indicator light on your dash to function properly.

PM me if you have any ?.

I got it all hooked up and the lights work great. Well worth the effort. I would recommend this upgrade to everyone with poor lighting problems.



Thank you everyone for your help and assistance, it turned out to be very fast and easy to install after you all helped me figure out where the heck to plug the harness into.



Thanks a bunch,

Robert
