Thank You for Watching the sealed beam headlight relay wiring video! Subscribe To This KZfaq Channel: kzfaq.info See My Wiring Playlist: kzfaq.info/sun/PLsF7T1tRFy2hmiiUUfMZNyV-BUA_yrPIh

I love that you said, “If you’re building a hot rod or something…” because that’s exactly what I’m helping a friend do. This was helpful.

This is the best use of peg board and ties wraps I've ever seen. Well done chap!

Building a 1969 McLaren M6GT replica from scratch. Your videos really helped get My wiring done and done the right way! All the switches out there are single pole for the hazzards so I added some diodes to a single pole switch and got them working. Your videos also got me to think ahead and prepare for other circuits or tasks. Thanks a LOT!

You're the only one in my opinion who explains stuff clearly, concisely and with clarity. For wiring, I only watch your vids.

I have a 68 Nova that I’m going to be wiring these videos are the best I have found. Thanks for making these videos.

working on a 78 280z. stripped it down to the shell. dumped all electrical. starting over. these wiring videos are awesome. thanks!

Thank you so much for doing this video, the lights in my 1974 CJ5 was giving me fits. After watching this video I was able to figure out where the wiring was messed up.

I’m doing a complete rewiring on a custom 47 Chevy cabover truck. It’s got a 454 big block sitting behind the cab. Wild ride! Your tutorial on hooking up blinkers was a big help. But this one help build a part way. Mainly because I needed a tutorial from an aftermarket headlight switch down to the headlights.

Thanks! Lights are much brighter now, on my 60's era International Travelette 😎

Converting my 88 mr2 to a fixed led headlight from the pop-up sealed beams and it's nice to see how a circuit should work. This will allow for simplification of my front wiring

These circuit videos are glorious. Rewiring my 1969 VW Bus.

Great Video! I am working on my 1978 Ford Bronco - it had been sitting in a barn for 20 years!

Thanks SO SO Much for ALL these from Scratch lighting videos.

My 83 Ford F100 still has that dimmer switch and works great.

Thank you so much for your instructional video. I burned out the headlamp switch in my '52 Crosley (actually the 30 amp fuse) and wanted to install a relay but the process confused me. Your video cleared it up. I'll let you know when the job is finished. It's a 6 volt system and I'm told that the lights will brighten up a bit as well. Thank you again!

Plain and Simple Explanation...now I'll fix my truck wiring 💯

I am working on a Yanmar YM1300D. I know, a bit different from what most are working on lol. Great video, thank you!

Rewiring a 2003 s10 that i took the computer and wiring (90)%. Love your videos - they help a lot. My s10 has LT1engine-700r4-trans- 3.42 gears in a 8.6 s10 read end housing.

You have saved me a lot of money here & head ache ! Than you for keeping it so simple !

Very clear and concise! Thank you for teaching! I subscribed!

Very well explained. Thanks

You are the best man thank you! I watching you from Greece.

Great video, thank you, and congrats. Right now I am rewiring two projects from end to end. An '87 Jeep YJ upgraded to V8 etc. That is mine. The wiring was the worst I have ever seen. Took it out in pieces then threw it all in barrlel. All new made by me. The second is a '74 Karmann Ghia used for the base of a kit car, who knows when owned by my former wife. It has all of the original '74 wiring. Pretty much the same but had to take it apart one at a time to learn what made it tick. A complete rebuild one piece at a time. Thanks again for all of your info. Subbed.

Thanks man im working on an old MB 406 and this explains alot, also like your other videos!

I’m setting up the headlights in my dads 48 Ford with an old school GM headlight switch and dimmer, but using the dimmer switch to select and power two different relays, one for high, one for low.

I remember these floor switches. Notorious for overheating and having your lights fail while driving down the highway. Usually, it was just a matter of clicking down to lo-beam and switching the lights off and on again. But a bit of a shock when you're not ready for it.

New subscriber here. So glad I found your channel , I have a vw trike that need all the wiring done, you make it easy. Thank so much for your time .

Gracias bro . Te seguimos no dejes de hacer videos m gustan x que están sencillos y bien explicados

Super helpful. I just installed some fog lights on my 4runner and the wiring kit had a relay. I was wondering why they had that along with a fuse and not just a fuse. This video helped. Thanks

I used a 91 grille in an 85k10, but instead of using just winners for highs. Or outters for lows. (They are single flament headlamps) I hooked the lows up normally. But added a relay from high positive to backfield lows when highs are on. And so I get all four. The rectangle ones that have four. Usually have 2 filaments of 45w on the top ones, (one aims down, one up) and the bottom ones are 50w and are wired to the top aimed up filaments. And of course the round ones or single rectangle ones are wired in a way like a twilight bulb.

This helped so much. Thank you

On older cars it’s a good idea to wire two separate relays down stream of the dimmer. Close to the actual lights. One for the low beam circuit. One for the high beam circuit. You eliminate a lot of the resistance though the hi, low switch itself, the plug on it, the firewall connector, and all the length of small gauge corroded old ass wiring. You’ll get a nice bright light with much less voltage drop. Still a great video on the concept. Nicely displayed.

This instructions are perfect for my 31 Ford pu hot rod. Next step is the electrical

Thanks my friend for help

I’m doing a 2000 non m 5.3 swap out of a gen 3 Needed this to do fronts 💪🏾

Very informative thank you very much sir.

Dear friend, I am from Japan, I subscribed to your channel👍thank you very much for sharing🙇‍♀️

thank you ! I'm working on it 1959 chevy apache

In conjuction with the blinker and hazard light videos. I think I'll have all the info I need for my 71 volvo lights to work again. Thanks!

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

gonna use your systems on our 1975 chevy luv. always looking for parts!!

This will help. Working on a '55 Plymouth Savoy gasser.

Really great explanation , thank you ...sir ... I'm a student

Great vid

Much easier to understand than all the computer generated crap. Thanks.🍻

Working on a 1968 Impala the ligts sequence you’re talking about will work on it

Great video. I'm putting two color , Amber & White fog lights on my Suzuki LTZ quad. Instead of a dimmer switch, I'll be using a spdt toggle. I think that's the switch I need, if not 🆘 thanks

I had a plethora of wires burn out on my 1969 cortina, its amazing that despite this everthing works except the head lights, it has the floor dimmer switch because the column switch wore out years ago, this instruction is very helpful., thanks for it, l will see how l go , l tried to subscribe , but l dont know if l succeeded , there is normally a subscribe to press.

Thank you

So Clear

Very well explained wiring for the headlights and a simple switch and relay. I have a question, how would you incorporate the tail lights into this switch? Thanks !

I have a 2001 International 9900i semi truck. I was driving in heavy rain Thursday night. I dimmed the lights for oncoming traffic and blue light on dash dimmed slightly but high beams stayed on. They wouldn’t shut off and occasionally the low beams would come on. Now high beams are stuck on. All fuses and relays good. I got a dimmer switch from a Chevy truck brand new at parts store. No one had international switch. One place said they could order it for $160. It’s the same kind of switch as the Chevy switch. The old switch was wired with electrical tape and when I pulled the tape off the wires came off so I didn’t know which one went to which terminal. I put the green wire with constant power in the middle top terminal. I tried switching the yellow and black wires from left to right on the bottom two terminals. I got it so it’s doing the same thing it was. The blue light is dimming, but the high beams are staying on. The driver side headlight when I go to dim it is flickering. The terminal on that light had a problem with it before because it was all green, so I cleaned it up and it worked for a little while. Today I wired a new plug onto it. That didn’t help. It is still doing the same thing. What else could it possibly be?

And once again you've helped me haha savior

😎👍thank you

Awesome video thanks man could you please do one on how a wig wag flashing circuit works and how to make one at home from spare car electronics? Thanks

Thank you for the video, very informative and helpful. Do you think I can do or use the same wiring for a 1989 toyota pickup 4x4? I wanted to replace the old sealed headlight housing to LEDs but for some reason they are not working. I think is a wiring issue. Again, thanks for the video.

I really like your setup for the headlight wiring. Could you show how to connect to the ignition switch so that we don't accidently drain the battery? My 2007 ram 1500 headlight circuit is no good and I don't want to replace the TIPM. I want to connect my headlight circuitry outside of the TIPM.

Your videos are very informative. I have a question. I'm running a 95 silverado steering column in my 92 silverado . My multifunction switch has a high beam selector switch built in it. I was wanting to use a relay to control the switch over from low to high beam and was wondering which wires will I need to connect to make everything flow right?

Hey man ... top man! I've learned so much from you. I've built a trike which I am currently wiring up. I'm struggling to get my head round headlight wiring with side lights. I have a 3 position switch, off, side on, head on then a second 2 position switch for hi and lo. Am I right to assume I need a second relay to run the side lights before splitting off hi and lo?

Totally screwed up my 75 Scout, but now the maeker lights blink with the blinkers, which is pretty cool. No clue how I did that. But also the right blinker tirns on the left blinker and off the rear lights. Hopefully I just just set it up like this.

My 1969 f250 has it's headlights flashing. It's about time to rewire the entire vehicle anyways

Could you do a video where you hook up newer style headlights (HIDs?) to an old muscle car? OR a video about wiring a basic gauge system i.e. fuel, tac, speedo, oil pres, water temp, and battery?

Thx a lot! I want to power my headlights on my ‘65 dart like this, so power doesn’t run through my switch anymore :)

Great video. How would you go about this exact same thing except without the dimmer switch

Can you make a video like this for ignition? Probably a 3 way switch; off, on, momentary. Great videos! I was looking for this exact video and the turn signal one to replace my very expensive replacement turn signal switch that failed.

Dude you're f****** awesome I just commented on the first video I've watched with you. You're about to get my car up and going cheaply LOL

Well this explains the mess I got going on in my model A better .. now I gotta try to fire out how to make my headlights work with factory harness 🤦

Thanks for your video it really helps. Am working on a 54 gmc truck, an I swap an 02 Silverado drive train v6 with the complete harness, I am having trouble hooking up my head lights, any ideas???

Thanks for your video I am have trouble with a truck wiper it has 2 relay 1 is for the wiper power and the 2 is high and low speed and I have to remove the power relay so the wiper stops

Great explanation. How would you wire front parking lights of a 1964 Chevy C10? Factory set up is those lights turn off when headlights are on. I would like them to stay on

Awsome video, was almost exactly what I was looking for. Working on a 68 VW dune buggy that needs lots of rework. Now, how do I incorporate the tail lights into the same switch? Thanks.

Cool man ...maybe u have a hint i had sealed headlights but decided to go with the bulbs supposedly brighter all was great but after a while the switch started to smell like burning &the headlights flashed...not sure if the bulbs draw more than the sealed ones???

Great informative videos to help wire my hotrod!! what size amp fuse do I use for light switch to power source?

Great video, I’m in process of wiring in a sealed beam 4 headlight system with parking lights. Could you please do a video for what you would need to conquer that? Thanks!

I have a 67 Dart, and after replacing the switch and the dimmer, I still have no lights. I was going to upgrade to LED lights, now that I know this info, it’s going to make the upgrade a whole lot simpler

I did this this weekend to create a ebike headlight with motorcycle headlights! Everything worked BUT! My battery is a 52v and the headlights I believe only needed 12v-- so it blew up as soon as I hit the switch! At first I thought it was because I didn’t ground the toggle switch (on-off-on) and that could still be the case but I think it’s mostly because I had too much power going into the headlight (52v battery into 12v light) I am going to continue to try the project but I have to figure out how to turn my 52v battery source produce just 12v for the motorcycle headlights 😭 Not your problem, you did label “12v Power!” Hoping my 2nd pair of lights don’t blow up! I was hoping it would just be the fuse that blew up but I think that is for the battery safety?

Love your videos. Working on a 1991 Alfa Romeo Spider- upgrading wiring harness with relays. CURIOUS- wouldn’t you want the fuses in between the battery and relay for the high amp draw on the circuit? With your setup, I would have put the fuses before the relay pin 30. I suppose then you’d have to create another power source for the on/off switch, maybe fuse that too?

Can you make a video showing the best way to wire in a kill switch? Anti thieft for an older car. Maybe a relay to the distributer or something like that. Maybe something linked to a key fob with rfid so it will only work with your keys? Thanks again for your videos

Hi,What gauge wire do I need for headlights? (Amps and size in mm)also please tell me fuses Amps in the circuit.Thanks.

I have a snowplow that the lights only work on high beam so this would probably work for me so if I hook up these lights I should have no problem

So, the power that goes to the fuse, is obviously the fuse box. Where are those relays usually stored? Under the dash or in engine well? If you were rewiring wipers, signals, gauges and ignition, would there be a relay for each?

Hi. I'm working on a 1991 Geo metro it has some dual positive set up on it and ive tried switching over to a newer headlight with the different pronged headlight similar to the three prongs on back of one u used except it's supposedly top prong is low beam right is hi and left is ground.ive tried 4 or 5 different ways to set up a dual relay 4 pin 30 amp basic 87,86,85,30, and no matter which way I do it the lights either dont work right or not at all so I've come to the point of using another toggle switch instead of factory switch which is only connected to the 86,87.ive gotten instructions from a supposed Geo guru,a supposed lighting expert and a supposed mechanic expert in the electrical fields oh and some all knowing computer robot that surprisingly told me it was wrong when he answered anotherpersons question about no car has both a carburetor and a fuel injection set up and my Geo actually does have that set up.ive already purchased a three prong switch which has a 2 speed of hi and low which I figure I could do the hi and lo beams with,I'm just looking for what the best wiring so!ution would be to do without having todo so many more unwire and rewiring of the last set up not working...it has the 2 30 amp fuses going to pin 30 the hi beam wire going to 87 on one relay and lo beams on the other relay 87,both 86s are going to the original wire harness power source wire and the 85s are going to the matching hi and lo wires corresponding with the wiring going to the relays and the 2 wires from the headlight going to the ground straight to battery. I've had it set up a few other ways thinking top light prong was low beam and also where the 85s and 87s were fused to the battery.im thinking the grounds straight to battery is messing things up since it's not set up as a positive negative and if I put my own switch in I canavoid all this positive only system thing going..please and thank u

Can you help me out ? I’m trying to wire up headlights taillights flashers and blinkers to a 1964 Chevy impala and I’m using yours wire diagram which by the way is very helpful I’m just trying to figure out how do I get the headlights taillights all the work in sync! Using the original headlight switch an aftermarket hazard switch

Will one relay work for both lights? Will this work on modern headlights, I'm rewiring an 01 dakota that uses arelay for each headlight, it has had some shade tree guys work on the wiring and had lots of problems, I just want to be able to see at night, lol

Would it be possible to connect white wire (on relay) to UNswitched 12V power, thus energizing the relay upon start up? I’m thinking of this because I want to use a 3 position rocker switch ( on-off-on) to operate low/high beams…

Hi, I am working in a Datsun 240z w a custom Dash. And want to hook the normal switches back up on the steering column.

On semis there is a button on the steering wheel that you can press to turn off the headlights there is also a separate button that can be pressed to turn off all the daytime running lights. All lights come back on when you let go of their respective buttons. I would like to install those buttons on my car because I’d use them every day as I do in the semi. How would those buttons be worked into this system?

Do you have a video for upgrading the older sealed beam headlights to led headlights?

Hi, if you add the tail lights do you just connect to the white wire on the dimmer switch?

Could you do one for running lights? Like rear lights, brake light switch, etc. Say if you have a car with no light wiring at all..

There are also dual headlight relays available. What are there for if the wiring can be done with a simple 4 pin relay?

use two relays after the dipper switch so you get battery power straight to the headlights and if one relay fails you have redundancy and lights until you get safely off the road to fix it.

Great, my question is where do you connect the tail lights? The need to work with high and low beam.

Can I use a 2 prong on off switch with this setup and just put the white wire and power wire together on the on side of the switch?

It’s awesome thank for your help , I’ve little question , you use 5 pin relay but use 4 so it’s possible to use 4 pin or I must 5 pin too ? Thank for your answer

SoI have a quick question. I thought the reason behind having relays is so you do not have high voltage coming into a switch that can’t handle the power. But looking at your diagram you have power coming from the battery into the switch and then it is going into the relay

So can you use that third leg on the red switch to run to another relay to power taillights, so your only using one switch for headlights and taillights?

Do u have any video to do a voltage regulator install?

I have a 1970 Mach 1 that I want to put a relay in for the headlight circut.
