How To Install 7in Jeep Lights On A Hummer H3

Рет қаралды 104,635

Hey what’s going on everyone! Today I am going to show you how you can install 7in Round Headlights on your Hummer H3 for around $200 to $250. Now I know this is a long video, but many parts can be skippable. Refer to the timestamps down below. The reason why this video is so long is that I designed this video from the perspective of somebody who is brand new to the H3 and doesn’t have much wrenching experience, so if you are more experienced you can definitely skip over some parts to get into the core of the video. Also there is a couple different ways to do things depending on your situation and what you want to do for your install.

Update:
Hey everyone just a quick update! Since this video's release there has been a small change to the Lased Design's 7in Adapters. Basically, the little studs that connect to the main part of the adapter have received a V2 update. Instead of putting your little studs directly on the ball heads of the factory headlight assembly, you now reuse those little specialized clips that are the OEM headlights and screw them onto the studs. If you have recently ordered a set of adapters, you will notice that the studs on the kit have small holes instead of large holes. Please do not try and bore a much larger hole like you see me doing in the video. If you have the V1 version, you can upgrade to the V2 version, but it honestly doesn't make that much of a difference. If you are not quite sure what I am talking about check out this photo of what the new V2 studs look like: laseddesigns.com/collections/...

I watched this video about four complete times as I was receiving everything I needed from Amazon. Prior to installing these headlights it had been a long time since I'd worked on my own vehicle. Anyway, I owe you big time! I followed your directions to the letter and I could not be happier with the outcome! My truck looks exact like what I had in mind the the headlights are exactly what I had anticipated! Thanks again for the very detailed step-by-step instructions! I'd love to be able to show you a couple pics.

Great Job!!!

@4lowmode 4 жыл бұрын

Oh yes! I have looked into some other DIY custom retrofits that people have done in the past and they are just too complicated and there is a lot that can go wrong. Also many of these other methods involve sacrificing the OEM headlights to fit the new lights into. I really don't like that because if the project doesn't turn out good, you need to rebuy new oem headlights. In contrast, these new adapters allow you to keep your old OEM head light housing if you ever need it. Also I have seen some people do some janky wiring to try to get these lights to work instead of using the proper harness.

@LibertyHand 4 жыл бұрын

@@4lowmode exactly. I'm not for using zip ties on headlights. Your way is definitely the best method for the upgrade. I found the ThingVerse 3d printer schematic for adapter free to download. We have a local here that will print a prototype for me for $20, so I'll let you know how that goes.

@4lowmode 4 жыл бұрын

@@LibertyHand Oh yes I know the ones that you are talking about. That was done by a forum user on Hummer H4O. There is not a whole lot of information out there about them. Apparently the guy that designed them did get them to work, however all the photos he posted on them are no longer available which is annoying. Also he later abandoned that idea and instead opted to fit 5in headlights in the stock headlight housing. Those 7in adapters do seem like they work, but are 3 negatives that I see. One is that the studs are not removable or replaceable. So if you break one, you need to replace the whole adapter. Second is that they do not use a retaining ring to hold them down and instead, they use 2 screws on either side to pinch the headlight in. Less of a secure fit in my opinion. Third is that these adapters were never tested to see if they could fit multiple sized headlights. Not trying to scare you off from trying it, but that is just the limitations that I have seen myself from looking at it. Here is the link to the original thread about the subject: www.hummer4x4offroad.com/forum/showthread.php/13403-3d-print-files-for-7inch-led-headlight-adapters

@LibertyHand 4 жыл бұрын

Right on. I was thinking the same things. The one you used is a much more advanced designed, and those replaceable studs make a lot of difference. I'll add that often 3d prints need to be readjusted often after printing the first one. I didn't realize it wasn't designed to use the retaining ring. Thanks for pointing that out. After looking closer and with your input, I'm going to run with the same setup you used. It is less troublesome and more reliable of a design. Thanks, Bud!

@4lowmode 4 жыл бұрын

@@MrCrf450rider In terms of brands, there is a huge price disparity between the cheaper lights that you can get on Amazon and the brand-name ones. As I mentioned in the video, the cheaper ones don’t really have an actual brand. What sellers will do is order them from Ali-Baba, stick a company name on them for branding purposes, but they really don't have an actual company behind them. These cheaper lights are still pretty good for the price, but I imagine in 5 to 10 years that the lenses may start to get hazy, but it is still cheaper to replace them again, then buying a brand name one. The brand name headlights will definitely hold up over time better and possibly come with a warranty, but the prices for these headlights usually start at around $400-$1000. One of the more common brand name ones you see are the JW Speaker Model 8700 J2 Black Headlights which are on Amazon right now from $449. This model was an original design that many of these cheap no-name brands copied the design from.

That being said, I think option #1 is a bit more reliable. If the relays go bad on Harness #1, you can easily replace them, but if the little polarity converter boxes (Harness #2) goes bad, you will have to replace the whole unit, since you can't open it and replace of the internal components.

Also I really do gotta get better with how much I upload. I currently have tons of different ideas that I would like to cover, but finding the time can be difficult at times.

@@4lowmode My theory, based on my personal behaviour, is that the percentage of viewers who support creators on patreon decreases as that creator gains followers because viewers will think there's enough support for that creator. And yeah I can completely see how hard it is to find the time to make these kind of videos. How many hours did you spend on this video? I notice and appreciate how you set up your camera for a birdseye view at 21:18 , how you added footage of different angles while you installed the part at 38:16, how every clip is cut and edited efficiently so that you're always talking and giving useful information in every second of the video, and how you made this video super easy to navigate and even gave us two methods to choose from! I can see you definitely making this a full time job because you got the skills for it. Not only are you good with cars but you're also a movie maker. You respected my time as a viewer and provided me with great content. That's why I want to support this channel specifically (I've been on YT since 2008 and never signed up for patreon).

One question, how do you stop weather / rain getting into the truck from around the seven inch LED headlight ? I see a large space around the headlight and nothing between it and the front grille

Just installed fan cooled LED bulbs 34.00 from eBay (6000)cool white just to see how accurate the discription was. Bright as hell all around front of vehicle, great for city and rural areas but bright lights mode sucks. they have no distance what so ever. They are how ever super white to other drivers

WOW thank you so much your video really helped. The other four vehicles I have don't have to be dissembled to change a light bulb. My right turn signal and marker light went out. The engineers that designed this POS were really stupid and went out of their way to create spaces for rodents to live in. First they put a depression under that battery that is a perfect house for mice and rats. A ground squirrel died in the air cleaner after building a giant nest because of the easy access between the inner and outer fenders. Following your instructions to remove the grill I found out that between the plastic inner fender and plastic outer fender is a great space for rodents to live. That is why the squirrel decided on the air cleaner, there were too many other rodents in the other spaces. They chewed the wires to the side marker light and turn signal and other wires. I couldn't have created a better home for pack rats if I tried. Keeping the hood open did not help because the inner and outer fender space is a self contained habitat for rodents. Now it is apparent that they used that to get to the windshield wiper deck which we discovered was stuffed with mesquite beans when the windshield was replaced. I really appreciate your videos but I am selling this POS because I can't keep the critters out no matter what I do.

Glad you found use out of the tutorial! To be honest, in all my years of ownership of the H3 and reading forum threads about H3s, I haven't really heard that many problems about rodents burrowing into the H3. It could just be that you get a lot more rodents out where you live. To change out the marker and turn signal bulbs, you don't really need to take the grille out and remove the headlight assembly. You can actually access both of those bulbs by dropping the wheel wells to get access to them. The wheel wells are held in by a total of 10 plastic push clips. You can actually get away with taking about 6 or 7 of them out and then just bending the wheel well down so you don't have to take the entire thing out and then you can gain access to the bulbs.

Love all your videos Man veryinformative recently got a 2008 video that had number for fan speed not work and realized that it had a recall on the little wiring harness behind the glove box on the passenger side and the dealer only replaced half of it the female side of the plug was still burnt you might do a video on that to let everyone know that both sides of that plugneed to be replaced it is in the parts directions at your mine was only half replaced. the pigtail

The female pigtail is available at your and must be spliced into the wiring harness on the female especially if your plug is burnt. The recall says could catch on fire apparently my plug had caught on fire and they only replaced the male side of the white plug on harness

@4 Low Mode - Loving your H3 content. Do you know if these adapters will work for larger projector style headlamps, like the Morimoto Super 7 2.0?

@4lowmode Жыл бұрын

Yes they do. I made another video on my channel talking about larger projector style 7in headlights. In my video, are used KC Gravity Pro 7" headlights but the Morimoto 2.0s share a similar concept. For my KCs, I did have to do a little bit of trimming on the back of the OEM headlight assembly. For the Morimotos I think they need to even less trimming. So far I have seen 2 H3 owners install those 2.0s successfully.

@levih.4252 4 жыл бұрын

Question.... The LED lights draw the same amount of current/wattage as the Halogen so there is no need for a relay (usually needed for increased amperage demand) So the only reason is for reversing polarity (or your option #2 using the polarity converters to reverse the polarity). Why not just move the pins on the adapter harness to the appropriate orientation? The pin already fell out of the adapter harness while you were doing the install so it should be real easy to swap. I have been considering buying these and would personally want just buy the weather pack connector and cut off the H4 plug on the light and wire on a H13 to plug in to factory. No additional harnesses, relays, fuses or adding a circuit to the battery post. Less things to fail while on the road or trail. This is what I did when i bought a pair of Rigid Amber D2 in my ARB bumper. I wanted to keep the Rigid light connector so i bought the male connector and pins online and cut off the trucks fog light connector and now the Rigid light pod plugs directly into the truck with a weather proof connector and no adapter harness or splice. Great videos by the way. Not to many people take the time to go into detail about projects like this, especially on vehicles the have as little support as our H3's

Love what you've done with these videos. I have got all the stuff together to do this to mine except the Laseddesign adapters. I have tried contacting them with no response. Signed up for the newsletter with no response. Any in-site as to how to get some? It won't be long before I am buying a 3D printer and making them myself.

@4lowmode 2 жыл бұрын

From what I have heard, when asked for a statement, Lased Designs said he would be coming back with products soon. So keep an eye out in the new few weeks. Getting a 3D printer and making them yourself is technically possible, but you would have to design the file yourself from scratch. That other headlight 3D model on Thingiverse that everyone thinks they can just download and print is a bad idea. That adapter was a failed prototype that was never actually mounted onto an H3 and the project was abandoned by its Author. If you want me to go into extreme detail for all the reasons why those Thingiverse adapters are very poorly designed I would be happy to do so. Recreating the Lased Designs brackets yourself is going to be difficult as they were designed by taking a 3D scan of the OEM H3 headlight assembly to model them off and they went through several prototypes before they ever went into production.
