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!
Only seeing this video now. That harness you are using, it has a relay which has a wire for the switch and a wire for the high beam adapter and then 2 leads for the spot lights correct.
Has anyone overcome the issue of connecting to the battery when the battery is mounted under the passenger seat (stupid VW Touareg)? There are jump start posts under the bonnet, so could the main + and - wires just be attached to those somehow?
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?
I have a pair of MC5 daytime running lights that I want to run full time with my motorcycle headlight. Can I just piggy back on to the headlight power or do I HAVE to run a relay?
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.
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?
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.
@@xJoRDox96 how that work? ive try it on this afternoon to wires up. beam on spot light on. turn spot light off (switch) and beam on still spot light on. did i do something wrong with wires? thanks
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.
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.
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.
@@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.
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.
Yes i was running SCA harness in my old car and had heaps of issues this one runs in my current car for about 4 months now and its been great very solid harness
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.
I've watched so many vids trying to work out how to connect high beams to my light bar, finally I found your vid. Thanks Sam👍👍
Didn't realise Damien Cook worked for Stedi
Great vid. Good enough for a mech fitter to wire it up
Not very informative. You didnt show us how to tap into an existing light bar etc..
Would the process be the same If I wanted to wire spotties and a lightbar to my high beams but on seperate switches?
Too quick and not detailed enough for a Noob.....
Agree. Too many “how to wire” videos seem to always skip the actual wiring.
First timer here; just play it multiple times and pause as you go through the steps. All the info needed is in the video
How to screw the headlight back cover back on with all new wires and plugs sticking out now. No one mentions this.
The 2021 Isuzu has a different high beam connector not able to piggyback

Correct with the addition of the positive and negative to the battery.
I have a Discovery 4. Can I just wire these to a switch and by pass the piggy back harness?

I use this Smart Harness to connect with light bar and 2 spots light but the cable was getting hot after 10 mins. what should i do?
Just to clarify, sounds like you are using a single harness to connect 2 spotlights and 1 light bar, is this correct?
@@stedi_lighting Yes, I did that. Could you please help me. Thank you so much 🙏🙏🙏
@@stedi_lighting Sorry I did not get your response back so messaged again. Could you please help me? thanks
How do I stop my relay from clicking continuously when I turn on the engine? it’s fine with engine off
I have set up 2 spot lights I want to install a light bar can I use the same wiring with some sort of adapter
Thank you sir
What are the spotlights you are wiring up ??
I’m looking for that size not sure which ones they are on the website
I have a pair of MC5 daytime running lights that I want to run full time with my motorcycle headlight. Can I just piggy back on to the headlight power or do I HAVE to run a relay?
can you do this with out wiring up the high beam part if you don't want that and you just want a switch for on and off
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.
Great video , thanks . How long would it of taken you to just do the wiring set up for the 2 main spots only ?
do you have a install video for dual LED headlights with a canbus system
As in a headlight running factory LED high/low beam without a traditional style plug to piggy back from?
Would there be too much of a load if you ran those small lights together with the existing spot lights on one harness?
depends on power rating of those little things, they could easily be 100w each
How would I use these on a motorbike? Wiring wise??

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.
Do you need the rocker switch at all? Can you run the system without it and just control the spotlights using the High beam?
@@johnzelenjak In Australia, you are legally required to have a switch for your spotlights so that you can turn them off separately from high beams.
@@xJoRDox96 how that work? ive try it on this afternoon to wires up. beam on spot light on. turn spot light off (switch) and beam on still spot light on. did i do something wrong with wires? thanks
Do you have to run the cable if you just plan on running it through high beams?
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.
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?
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.
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.
@@iConviicted Legally required to have their own switch, AND to only work when high beam is on.
@@pugnut403 What's the best way to set this up when using an isolated switch, without being connected to high beam?
@@wheredwallygo you need to be connected to high beam somehow.

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.
can i tap into my high beam wires directly, then run a wire back to relay etc?
You can do it but not legally in Nz to pass wof
Would I be able to run 2 harnesses of one rocker switch in the cab?
Yes, if both harnesses were wired into one switch.
Which bypass harness do you need for a 2021 FX4 ranger
Hey Philip, Same harness as the Wildtrak www.stedi.com.au/upgrades/ford/ranger/px3-wildtrak/2021
What if my battery is in the boot!
Where can I buy this??? Ur link doesn’t seem to show up anymore and you seem to be the only ones who make this or make it this simple!!
Hi Aaron, Try this link www.stedi.com.au/wiring-electrical/driving-light-wiring-kits.html
Does anyone know how to do this on a Holden Ute?
Have you a video on wiring a stedi harness in a Toyota hiace van as it's backwood to a normal car.
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.
Can you plug a piggy back adapter onto a piggy back adapter?
How many type X Pro lights can you run on a single wiring harness?
We'd recommend not more than 3.
As clear as mud
hey is that a negatively switched switched system?
Hey Alphred, Our harness will work on both negative and positive switched vehicles. The Patrol is positive switched.
@@stedi_lighting thanks!
Is this harness a better quality than SCA's?
Yes i was running SCA harness in my old car and had heaps of issues this one runs in my current car for about 4 months now and its been great very solid harness
Pretty sure its illegal to not have them on a stand alone switch in nz Haha
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.
Didn't really say anything about DIY wiring, you just used a harness.
How about the 2018+ prado? This video is useless
Unfortunately, this video does not cover that process. However, I have added it into the filming schedule.
Absolute nightmare when you have a car with a dodgy led converted headlight
