The Real 2016 Hilux Thread

Can anyone tell me where to grab high beam for my light bar installation on my brand new hilux? The Auto headlights have got me confused!

It took mine off the high beam light on the LHS of the vehicle. You can remove the windscreen filler early to get acces or use the feed on the RHS. I used the LHS to minimize the cable length run.

Thanks. I was looking at that high beam light but the power has got me confused because it drops to 1 pin when I click up to high beam. did you have that too?

Yes I did. Are you running it thru a relay as well?

[Iainbrucey]

Yes thru a relay. So did you put it in the pin that stays on when high beam is on? But doesn't that mean light bar on when only low beam is on too?

No. I just took a feed off the power wire into the bulb which only get power to it when the high beam switch is on.

The Hi-beams will run 12v when the headlights are switched off.

You will need to have a manual switch to let power to the relay from the 12 Hi-Beam.

Can anyone confirm n70 n80 front struts/shocks the same?

[Jsp510]

Not knocking -each to their own, but why put Chinese sunnies on instead if the oe black Sr. Wheels?? Just curious?

[Ryan1kd]

Offset. I like the look of them. They are cheap. If I bend one I can just buy another. It's mainly about the tyres. It's my car at the end of the day.
