LED Light Bar w/ Wiring Harness - Help


Lewy Choc McDonald

Recommended Posts

Hi all,

I have recently mounted and wired up a light bar on a 2004 model Hilux.
No problems to mount and the wiring made simple by a wiring harness delivered with the light...
The problem is...
The Light bar can be switched on (via a switch included in the wiring harness kit) on both high AND low beam. I am led to believe in NSW this is illegal (although that is not my major issue funnily enough). 

Does anyone know how I can fix this? So that the 'path' is not complete until high beams are switched on, so that when I'm cruising along with the light bar switch flicked, and the high beams on, all it takes is too touch my high beams off and the light bar ultimately turns off too, regardless of whether or not it's switch is on?

Easy done.

Grab a multimeter or test light and source a wire that is only live when the switch is in the high beam position. Use that as your tigger wire for your relay on the light bar.

The 240-watt LOYO CLASSIC LY-C240 LED beam now adorns the roof of my car. To install the LED chandelier, it was decided to use a transverse trunk beam with its attachment to the gutters. My friend did the installation of the lights. He also told me that the smart bulb vont would look good in my break room. On the dashboard, he installed a button. There is circuitry inside the button that allows it to work as a trigger. We took a relay to connect the lights, such as a standard four-pin with connectors (I have one on my fog lights). The fuse had to go under the dashboard.
