AWESOME! My boyfriend was losing his mind trying to wire a headlight for a custom built Harley Bobber. Your video was followed step by step. Within minutes he had it wired and functioning properly. Thank you for making my house a happy home again!

Thanks for making things clear and educational in such a brilliant way

i have been tormented with this idea for months!!thanks for the solution.. was struggling with wiring two led bars ..one with low beam and the other for high beam and when whenever i put on high beam the led bar that is attached to the low beam turns off!! i knew it had something to do with a 5 pin relay! !you made it super clear

For all the people asking about connecting two lights to it. Connect a parallel wire from 87 and/or 87a.

Awesome video u when step by step 👌🏽 and showed how to connect properly

Ay love you my brother finally I found a great video like this one thank you so much for your time and your explanation God bless you

Thanks bro..you help solve my problem.

there are two switches, (1 )the on & off & (2) the high & low beam, pin 30 on your diagram connects to pin 86 then one wire goes to the battery, then when you hooked it up during the video you used two separate hot wires keeping 30/86 on separate wires both connected to the battery, the diagram would be correct if another switch was added before the battery, I would add an on & off switch to the lead after pin 86 to battery & wire a separate larger hot directly to pin 30 to the battery, assuming the high low switch on the floor is a two wire with one post to ground, caution most floor dimmers are not wired this way, most have three wires (1)high (2) low hot on the dimmer with a (3)third positive wire also on the dimmer switch hooked to 12 volts ignition or battery, no ground on the dimmer switch The diagram looks like a motorcycle switch when the ignition is on the lights stay on until the ignition is switched off by not showing the on & off switch this becomes very confusing, & can cause a potential short if the dimmer on the floor is a three wire regards

Great video. Please show me how to wire it to a toggle switch, the middle being off, up for low beams and down for high beams. Thanks.

Thanks! Rewiring an Ironhead basketcase and it's my first time. I think i got it now!

1st of all thank you for your posting this very useful video I followed through all step but I kinda stumbled with the switch steps Edit: my bad ,got it correctly this time. BR;

That was informative. But what do you do if the light has a second side light bulb, as well as the dip and high beam? I've got a 5 wire 2 bulb light that I need to fit separately to the existing light?

thanks great easy to follow tutorial...

So this is like man made drls or automatic headlights?

pin 86 and 30 both comes from positive battery wire

Good job thanks for the video

Thanks that's amazing great video channel nice ideas I like it blessing

Will this work with any light? I have an led I wanna make low/high beam.

So in my truck I have a dual filament bulb for low and high and the low beam turns off when I turn on the high beam. How can I rewire it so that the low beam stays on when I turn on the high beam? I'm getting upgraded aftermarket headlight that have separate bulbs for low and high.

Can this be done with any light even if it is not high/low beam light? Something like a spot light ?

Hi here, great video. Can I connect two (2) headlights on one relay?. I only want o use the low beam on the relay.

hi....i had a crash since then my bike low beam has stopped working, only high beam works. What might be the issue ?

So you have to make other connection for on/off switch? from which pin # of relay to connect.. tnx

Please help want to know how to wire high and low beam using negative pole to on all relay thank

So if voltage from (comes hot wire)relay to switch drops when you connect to headlight that means bad relay .?thank you

Bro need some help i have a toyota my wiring is 1+ and 2- for high beam and low,but i want to connect it where i can get my low and high to stay on when i put it on high beam,how to resolve this ?

Thanks Nice Idea video channel

I love this work.. main

how can we connect to cars or bike headlights

Couldn't you piggy back the one power wire, instead of running two wires?

basic connection ... can u apply it in motorcycle wiring ?

The video was really good! but did you think about the fuse ??

What is the amp of the relay?

Thank you very much!!!

So 87a is normaly close and 87 normaly open?

Soo if I use a on_off_on switch on a car I can easily do low beam, nothing and high? Right?

your showing how to use one relay for high and low beam correct? how would you wire it to turn off? would you use another switch to turn the power off and on? any info would be great.

@MRGierut013

Yeah, you'd have to put in another switch. Either on the hot side or the ground side.

@gringoloco22

You would need a second relay to completely turn it off. You don't want to just use switches which is the whole point of relays.

what type of relay are you using Sir?

How are you suppose to wire this in a stock style headlight switch when power is the trigger ?

How to off your headlights?? In this circuit it will either b low beam or high beam..no option to off 🙄

If i were so inclined to just use this to set an on and off switch dedicated to HIGH beam and OFF, how would i wire it? to my knowledge (electricalnoob) the bulb just receives two different amounts of wattage is that correct? via Wattage equals voltage times amperage.

@ikesalonga1809

also, what amperage relay should be placed, 30? 40?

How do u turn off the low beam?

Can this also power up another bulb in series with just a single relay?

@BryonSturgill

Yes

I assume headlight relay is powered all of the time. On my car, with no key in the ignition, and with headlight switch removed, if I pinch the headlight relay contacts the headlights come on.

What if you just want off and on?

Thank you your tutorial sir..)

How will it turn off?

What kind of relay did you used. I bought 5 pin relay but the 87 and 87a are both connected.

sir how to conect if using two relay

What if we use Headlight Switch with Common , High Beam , Low Beam & Passing Light Wires

Hey so I think I figured out how to do high and low beams on a 3 position toggle switch on-off-on. You use two 5 pin relays, one for the low beams and another for the high beams. Watch a few more videos on how the 5 pin relays are set up, but the headlights are pretty straight forward, top is positive and if you run the negative through any of the sides it’ll be either low or high beam

Are those DPST's relays?

Pls notice this. I've followed your steps on this but when i powered it to the battery both low and high are on. Will you pls help me about this. Thank you

no fuses?

Whats the difference for 6pin head ligh relay from Hella ore GM type relay??? That thing confuse me 😅

Is there a way to wire a 3 way switch to have it work (hi-off-low)

@rowbless393

That's how it works, if I'm not mistaken its an (On Off On).. labeled as on or off but there's a middle option.. the middle is actually off. They have different switches to buy and I think he just happen to buy that one. But I believe its 3 options, up is hi and down is low, middle is off

@rowbless393

Actually yeah I think your right, but you can buy a switch that does the same thing I think the middle option just doesn't touch anything internally

Hey bro I have an issue of trying to explain to me brother could you do this with a 3 stage switch

what about the dimmer switch, three wires one is high, one is low, the center is power, what your saying is use only the power wire & one leg of the dimmer switch, since the dimmer has two legs, I wonder where I can use the third leg, since by turning the light to low beam the other lead is hot 12v & could potentially could power ????

@nbkkash9451

Jeff Booher you need a 5 pin relay for this. Low beam signal input plus 12v vs high beam signal input plus 12v. You only get one or the other. The squigly between 86 and 85 is variable/a resistor. A higher voltage input nets you high beams while a lower input nets you low beams. Its own switch inside the relay.

Good demo..... But i would connect a fuse specific to the vehicle specs and connect both fuses between 87a to lamp and 87 to lamp..... Otherwise bulbs wont last long for getting too much power

Yes, your video can be followed and understood but improve on switching off low beam may be by use of 2 relays

@lynskyrd

Why 2 switches?... this is daytime running lights with a highbeam switch. 87a stays hot until the highbeam switch is thrown- 87a opens and 87 closes allowing power to the highbeam. The only thing missing here is a fuse but not necessary for this simple demonstration.

So everyone has 1 Headlight?

Your lights are on all the time that way.

I like how they talk about tge fucking alligator clips in such great detail but only say yellow wire on the switch. My switch didn't come with a yellow wire so I guess this wont work for me? 10/10 IGN
