I just installed one of these boards, I had to switch my headlights from auto on to manual for it to work, so I took it back out, now my auto on don't work at all unless I switch it to manual on, blow a fuse??
Oooooo thats interesting. I haven't herd that one before. I would definitely double check your fuses. But if I had to guess, im wondering if you got a bad board, and it caused issues with your headlight switch. If there are no bad fuses, I'd try replacing the headlight switch (that in conjunction with the dash light sensor, they control the auto feature) that would be my best guess. Sorry that happened to you, hope you figure it out!!
@@TheKingCoopa yea, I have to admit, I was being completely stupid that day, since I doing it in the daytime. Auto on doesn't work in the daytime lol. It wasn't till later that afternoon, I finally grew a brain and realized why only manual on was working - idiot of the week for me lol

The marine corps side of me is more formal and straight to the point, which is why half my videos are "how-to" videos. I'm slowly starting to relax, and trying to get a little more comedy in there. I should be putting the coilovers on this weekend, so stay tuned for that. Thanks for the support! 🤘
@@TheKingCoopa yes sir and thank you for your service. I'm not sure I knew you were in the marines. Try to incorporate that into some of your videos if you can. I'm excited to see what the coilovers will be all about. I've got a dnj drop kit on mine and I like it, but I sometimes wish I had that stiffer, racier ride. The dnj kit uses stock springs and replaces the upper and lower control arms
I appreciate it, I'll see what I can do. I've herd decent things about the djm kits. The coilover conversion im doing is for the 4x4 trucks, to get rid of the torsion bars. Once you get about 90+ the truck kinda floats, and don't feel like its on rails. So these should help out alot.
Of all the videos I’ve seen you’ve put together this instructional video very well. Articulate and professional. May I make a video suggestion? Can you do a video on converting to LED lights and turn signals without hyper flashing? I admit, I have not succeeded in this task 😂
Hey, sorry for the late reply! Some LED tail lights/ turn signals come with resistors pre wired in, or you can wire them in. But honestly I would do what Jason suggested and just buy an LED compatible flasher relay. Hope that helps. Thank you for all the support, I appreciate it!!
That should work. The thicker the better though. If your doing the diode method, its just a signal wire. To tell the relay to get power from the battery. 18 should be fine.
I used one of the motherboards from Amazon. Not the fancy one you used but was supposed to do the same. I have all hid lights in front but for them to work correctly in my truck I had to reverse the polarity on the low beams from the ballasts. Now my fog lights will stay on with high beams but i still lose my low beams and id love to throw my drls in the mix but I might melt some retinas. Any ideas why I can't get highs and lows to cooperate? Is it the reversed polarity ? Thanks in advanced
Hey, sorry for the late reply. Honestly I think its the mother board you got, is the issue. You shouldn't have to switch polarities on your lights. I'd switch it back to normal, and try the fancy motherboard or try the diodes. With the diodes you can throw the DRL in there as well
I must have the wrong diode because when on auto during the day time the DRLs come on and my highs too. I flipped that dude around the other way and the same thing. With a cap over the sensor during the day, the lows come on, but when I hit high, lows and DRLs come on as planned. What in heck am I doing wrong? fixing to open the fuse box and clip the auto circuit from the DRLs relay and have it my way. I don't want them running during the day anyways.
Hey, sorry for the late reply! Honestly not sure what is going on with your light setup, did it do this before you put the diode in? I'm wondering if it was a bad light sensor, causing them to come on at the wrong times. Also the diodes do only go one way, which could cause some small issues, but I don't think it would be what you're experiencing. Hopefully you have figured it out by now!
@@CORYJOHNM hmmm, if you have an extra diode, try doubling up the diode (side by side) so they can split some of the power together, maybe that will work
So with the low beam on, you can turn your fog light on and off whenever. When you turn the highs on, it also keeps the low on, and turns the fog lights on at the same time. When you turn the brights off, the high beam and fog lights turn off.
Why not just run a separate relay and trigger the the relay off the high beams sure its easy but is the wire installed at the factory ment to handle the loads your doing
Hey, sorry for the late reply. I did run a separate relay, the factory fog light relay. I also used the factory switch, I like everything to look clean, and not have a bunch of switches all over the dash. This way I can operate the fog light whenever I want, not solely depending on the brights. Each circuit has its own relay and harness. Nothing is getting overloaded. The brights/lows/fog light harness/wire is designed to hold that power with halogen bulbs. They aren't sharing the power, nothing gets crossed over. The circuit board or the diodes only job, is just to tell the other relays to turn on. The diode connects to the "trigger" wire/pin of the relay, and the relay gets the all power from the battery. Thats all it does. Plus, running LEDs pulls even less power
Hey. Sorry for the late reply. Pin 30 : power from the battery Pin 85 : switched signal wire Pin 86 : ground Pin 87 : power to the fog light. Based off online research the diodes should all be going to pin 85 to turn on the fog lights and low beams. The fleece motherboard uses pin 86, which is why I said/ran it like that. On paper pin 86 doesn't make any sense, but even with the diodes thats how I ran it, and it worked. Here is some extra info on all the different light combinations if your still interested: www.silveradoss.com/forums/topic/83673-different-light-options-4-high-6-high-etc/
I’ve tried this and they all come on but when I switch my switch from highs to Lows it doesn’t matter they stay on consistently how would I get it to work on my headlight switch and not stay on constantly
Honestly not sure what I got (its been a while since this video). I just bought a 20 pack off ebay lol. But a 50v 3W diode should do really well. Always good to go with a higher volt/watt amount.
Hey, its been a while and can't remember what size I bought. I'd assume the smaller size would work. You just need signal power to go through it, to tell the relays to turn on.
Hey, not sure. They were cheap ones, so probably not much. The diod is just to send the signal to the relay, so it can pull the power from the battery to power the lights. I ended up using the mother board anyways.
Hey bro if i would want to have my fog lights connected so when my lowbeams would turn on. Is there a way i can do that with a diode? And would it interfere if i did the 6 high mod
Hey, sorry for the late reply. you could just run a single diode from the low beam output, to the fog light input. That will give you what you want, if you also want the 6 hi mod, you can do that with more diodes, or use the fleece motherboard, then put that single diode on top, for your low beam/fog light setup as well. hope that all makes sense, but yes it is easily do able.
Why not add the real fog light down where they go? No fog where your at? The lower the lights are, the better you will see through it. That light bar is about the same place as mine and it sucks trying to see through the fog with it on.
Hey, the fog isn't too bad where I'm at. But the SS trucks didn't have fog lights from the factory so there isn't really a good spot to mount fog lights down low. They do make some kits to mount pods in the air ducts. My oem air ducts were $130 each, so I really don't want to cut them up 😅
So the motherboard doesn’t turn on the drl with your other lights Edit: Also if it doesn’t turn the drl on, could I run a diode to the drl with the motherboard
Hey, its been a while since I did this video, but if I remember correctly your brights will shut off the DRL bulbs (lower headlights, closest to the grill) Also you could still run a diode to the DRL relay if you wanted.
Hey, there is a link in the description for the fleece performance boards. As for the diodes, I dont really think it would be worth my time. They are simple to make. I appreciate it though!
Hey, sorry for the late reply. have you figured it out yet? id would check your relays, or make sure the relay pins are touching the mother board. it could also be a bad board. also make sure your fog light fuse is in ( I did that once haha)
@@TheKingCoopa ok will you explain why you place the harness ends in the specific ports of the relay mounts? I'm not well versed in this area. Thank you
Dash switches and buttons can't take alot of volts/watts. Headlights take alot of power to run. So they need a relay, so the switch doesn't burn up. A basic relay has four wires. Ground, switch power, battery power in, battery power out to the light. So when you turn your headlights on, the switch tells the relay to get power from the battery and send it to the headlight. The diodes are the mini "switch" so when you hit your high beams, the diodes send power to the fog light/low beam relays, switched power. Which tells them to send power from the battery to the lights. Which gives you the 6 high. There is alot of info online about diagrams and simple schematics of how a relays work, if you ever wanna learn more about them 🤘
I used 18ga wire. Doesn't need to be super thick, as its just used to send the signal power, to the other relays. I've ran it for 5 or 6 min before a car comes, then turn it back on, its usually on for a good amount.
