High/Low Beam Headlight Relay Install for OBS Chevy - Painless Kit How To
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
This video will show you how to wire a Painless Performance headlight relay into your OBS Chevy / GMC truck or Tahoe to keep the low beams on when you run the high beam lights for much better light coverage in night driving conditions.
Here's a link to the AutoEdits amazon store with the Painless relay right at the top: www.amazon.com/shop/autoedits...
This is a very easy install that ANY skill level mechanic should feel comfortable trying.

I just confirmed that...hmm. I found a kit that is for a slightly newer Chevy and the only difference I can see is the color of wires. So you could easily make that work, it's kit 30822 and it's right next to the older model in this shopping list www.amazon.com/shop/autoedits/list/1FNPJI3AJKMXS?tag=onamzjasonlew-20&ref_=aip_sf_list_spv_ofs_mixed_d
I just got a parts store relay and socket. It's a great addition. I'm glad that a higher end company like Painless makes an easy and affordable kit for this purpose. I honestly think it cost me about the same to piece parts together myself.

@@AutoEdits I thought you had done this already 😬 it’s really a huge difference day n night. What also helped me was I kept cleaning my lens because they were oxidized. I was doing this every couple months so what I did was just bought new lens. Only spent around $100 for both at the auto parts store and that made a huge difference my Led lights were way clearer and casted further down the road.
Great video! Thanks.

I just installed the relay kit, my truck didn't have the fuse block on the inner fender. mine is on the passenger side firewall. I ran the positive wire to the alternator 12volt terminal. The only thing to critique is there are two green wires in the harness running to the headlights. The one to use is the light green wire. I also used wire loom to cover the wires. Someone might be confused if their truck doesn't have the fuse box on the fender, so they can run a wire all the way to the the pass. firewall or can run it to the alternator.😁
You say it's simple and an easy install straight forward would you say it's "painless" lol. Great video love the K1500/Tahoe videos. Thanks for filming.

Yes, that’s a good spot.
Use tan not brown and light green not the two other greens that are in that loom. Just used this video as a tutorial and took a random guess of what one of the three greens that are in the loom. But thanks to the video I was able to see it. Electrical is intimidating to me.
I'm curious... why can't I just splice into the ground wire on the driver's side and connect the other end of the ground wire to the chassis somewhere? The lights are all wired in parallel, so tapping into the ground wire and tethering it to the chassis will control all 4 lights in the same manner as the relay you installed. My question actually is, is there a reason not to do it the way I am asking about? Thanks in advance.

Maybe you should emphasise to establish a good and long lasting ground where you sand off the paint and use an nut and bolt in stead of the quick and bad solution using only a self tapping screw on an painted surface. Of course finishing it with protective paint to inhibit rust
