Sam Eyles from Built not Bought runs through the ins and outs of the STEDI Plug and Play wiring.
Our Plug & Play Smart High Beam wiring kit has built-in electronics that automatically detects whether your vehicle's system is positive or negative switched without any modification whatsoever. Toyota's, Ford Ranger, Mazda BT50 among many other popular 4x4 are notorious for being very difficult and costly to wire driving lights to high beam, our quick fit harness takes all the guesswork out of it.

Does your set-up not require a diode I noticed the relay didn't have one build in? I guess what I'm asking is do you have to have a diode??? thank you!

When I installed the Harness on my Wrangler JK after market LED headlights, the high beam on the side connected with Piggy Back adapter is not working properly (lost power) and the Light Bar is also not working. Anyone knows what the issue is? Is it ok to connect the Relay to an existing ground connection or does need to be fixed at a separate position by itself?

Am I right in thinking the rocker switch effectively arms the system. On/off of the lights is then controlled by switching high beam on the control stalk? There for turning rocker off allows high beam with no spotties? Do you ship to uk?

@xJoRDox96 4 жыл бұрын

You are correct, yes. Rocker switch set to OFF position will allow you to run your headlights as per normal. Whereas if the rocker switch was set to ON, and you turned high beams on, then your lightbar/spotties will turn on with your high beams as well.

Hey Stuart, If you're referring to the negative switching (Positive earth) - then the wiring process with our harness is the same. Unlike other harnesses on the market, ours has electronics built that allow it to work with both positive and negative switched wiring systems.

Is there a simple solution for not using the rocker switch but still having it hooked into the high beams? Will unplugging the switch do that?

@xJoRDox96 4 жыл бұрын

You'd have to short the switch out I'd say, man. There would be an active, neutral and an earth cable that you would normally wire into the rocker switch. To get around that, you'd have to short the active and the earth together, so that the relay thinks that the 'switch' is always on.

@iConviicted 4 жыл бұрын

you could also just leave the rocker switch in the on position inside the engine bay. i also dont really see the point of having both a switch and it being controlled by the highbeam switch.

@pugnut403 3 жыл бұрын

@@wheredwallygo you need to be connected to high beam somehow. The usual way is to tap the high beam wire at the headlight, use that to run to the spot switch, from the spot switch to the relay trigger, then relay earthto vehicle body. Run a larger wire from the battery positive to a fuse, to the power in on the relay, then from power out on the relay to the power wire on the spots.

The high beam trigger can be bypassed depending on purpose. For Australian ADR, if it's a forward-facing light, legally needs to be high beam activated.

Do you have to run the cable if you just plan on running it through high beams?

@stedi_australia 11 ай бұрын

Our or any other high beam adaptor won't be able to supply enough current to power any driving lights. A harness is required for operation of driving lights keeping in mind that local laws (at least here in Australia), require not only a high beam trigger but switch operation as well.

In Aus they must have a separate switch, however they must also be wired so they will only operate when high beam is on. Easiest way to do it is to tap a high beam wire to feed the spotlight switch which then triggers the relay and feeds the lights...both high beam and the spotty switch must be on for them to work.
