Piet se harnas boosters H4 ligte

Post by The Legend »

Ek het vandag my harnas gekry en kon nie wag tot more om dit in te sit nie .Al wat ek kan se is WAW wat n verbetering.Die foto.s wys miskien nie so nie ,maar daar is n groot verskil.Fotos,s (lig1 en Lig2) is geneem voordat harnas in gesit is en Foto,s (Lig3 en Lig4) nadat harnas ingesit is.My bakkie se ligte is nie ingestel derhalwe rede hoekom linker kanste lig helderder is as linkerkantste lig

Dit is n baie maklike joppie , maar ek het my tyd gevat en so tussen deur aan n kouetjie geproe.Ek het die battery ook uitgehaal sodat ek die harnas mooi netjies kon insit.

Al probleem wat ek met die nuwe harnas het en dit is dat die spotlights nie aan kom op brights nie.Ek het daardir ekstra ronde bruin relay ook in gesit vir die blou liggie op die cluster.Weet jy miskien wat fout kan wees?

As ek die harnas ontkoppel en die berading weer koppel soos dit was, dan werk die spots weer 100%

Dawie,

Ek het dieselfde probleem met Hound Dog & PraDog. Kyk mooi, jy sal sien a draad is ingelas op die ou plug socket. Sny dit daar af en las hom mooi op die "Brights" draad van die nuwe plug. Jy hoef nie die draad te sny nie, trek bietjie die insulation terug en sodat 4-5mm oop draad is, wrap die spot relay se draad om dit, soldeer die konneksie met rosin-core soldeersel en gebruik goeie insulation tape (Ek gebruik Nitton) om dit toe te maak.

My spotlights werk met n 4 punt relay.Die spotlights is gekoppel op die bright drade in die fuse box in die engine kompartement.

H Dawie, myne het dit ook gedoen
Skuif die spots se kragdraad na die blou draad van die H4 harnas, dit het gewerk op my bakkie

Dit is nou as jy na die agterkant van die gloeilamp kyk die regterkantse been.

On the 2.7 you do not need to T in anywhere to switch the spotlight relay. Toyota kindly provided a positive switching spotlight connection right next to the battery. Male spade terminal to the relay and Bob's your uncle.

Jis Dawie.... ek moet jou crimping tool vir jou terug bring. Is jy die komende lang naweek by die huis dan kan ek jou gou sommer help om die spots uit te sort. Dink dit is net ietsie kleins en niks om oor bekommerd te wees nie.

Het iemand al die spanning op die gloeilampe gemeet voor en na en dit vergelyk met die battery spanning ? Dit sal interessant wees om te sien wat die spanningsval oor die drade is met die OEM drade en die nuwes.

Couple of thoughts I pondered over with the Harness kit:

1. I snipped off the thin brass lugs and fitted thicker ones, but this is just my choice and not to indicate that the original ones were too flimsy. We use the thicker type for radio installations so I already had them.

2. When the black plastic 3-pin plug is inserted into the old headlight socket - which is now removed from the bulb - you should tape up the back of this plug. The new connector ends are slightly exposed and one does not want a short-circuit to occur.

3. I would have preferred an ever so slightly longer +ve lead going to the battery +ve, the supplied one makes it but doesn't leave much room for spare. OTOH, I do have a larger battery fitted so this might not be necessary for a standard battery.

4. The 30A fuse as supplied is too strong. I replaced it with a 20A fuse but I think a 15A fuse would be fine too, assuming one is running two 55/60 Halogen bulbs.

These points are not criticising the product which I find excellent, I am simply pointing out my views.

Excellent points:

The supplied wiring between the left and right side is very nicely done, wrapped in the flexitube plastic and the bulb connectors themselves are first class.

The points I have raised above are minor and the only ones I would urge people to look at carefully are item numbers 2 & 4 above.
