skipperT Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 See this thread before you do, so you have a better understanding of how the circuit works. http://fj-09.org/thread/1329/lights-mod-challenge?page=1#post-14887 -skip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kostracer Posted May 28, 2015 Author Share Posted May 28, 2015 It doesn't helps very much because i am looking to reach the opposite result. But you have right about the understanding of how the circuit did works ty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

root Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 I'm no electrician but I don't think the 2 threads are related. Pretty much you just need to find the wire going to the headlight, splice it and install the switch. I'm guessing the hot wire is all you need. If that's wrong, someone that knows wiring better please correct me. I'm pretty sure the eyebrow LEDs are on a separate circuit so it would likely take a separate switch. I'm not sure if you were looking to turn those off or just the main beam. I'm sure you probably knew all this so I apologize I don't know the color codes for that set of wiring. That may require someone with a service manual to chime in. Not to discourage you, but why would you want to turn off the main beam? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skipperT Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 Yes, that should work. I would probably interrupt the ground side, as the switch would last longer. Remember the LEDS operate at 24v, not 12. Skip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
