Hey THUG, is actually the same size bolt that you need to take out to add the grounds for the harness. Its a standard Toyota 10MM body bolt

One ADDITIONAL word of caution to anyone doing this install, when re-installing the hood latch make sure you hand tighten all of the three bolts first. Then pull up as hard as you can on the latch. Yes, pull up to get it as high on the slots as you can. Then tighten the bottom bolt first then the two up top. The reason for doing this is to make sure that your hood closes completely. If not you will be driving yourself nuts trying to figure out why your hood isn't closing correctly.

I will be adding this note to the last of my images.

Along these lines... Make sure you don't pinch the latch-release cable when you bolt down the X-member. That will cause MAJOR headaches.

Thanks for the write up. I did my install with confidence after reading your slam dunk write up. I already have the jd's in place, now I need to figure out my high beam options.

Total time for me was @30 minutes. I still need to mount the relays. I just left them sitting in the battery box for now.

[NLXTACY]

Awesome FLYROD, thats was the hope because I know there have been a few people who have been on the fence about doing this because there were no clear instructions. Maybe Romer will deem it worthy to add to the FAQs

For the HI-Beams, I would recommend Daniel Stern Lighting.

I did the Slee harness and new HIR lamps last night and WOW....major improvement. Maybe the best mod I've done next to the Landtank seat extension.

Definitely worthwhile!

[NLXTACY]

Awesome, hope the instructions helped.

[rhyary]

I have the HIR, but I can't adjust the lights. I turn the screws but nothing change the bubble. Any tips on the "adjusting the lights"?

One vertical screw turn easy but does not change anything, the other side vertical turn very hard, but does not change anything. I can't find my horizontal adjustments.

This may be a good place to get info about adjusting your lights....and read a said story about Chico:

I had no issue adjusting lights myself.

I just did the Slee light harness this weekend, and I couldn't figure out what the bracket was for either. I hung both of the relays on the inside fenderwell with sheet metal screws. Wish I'd seen your write-up before this!

[NLXTACY]

Hehe, well you actually did what I was about to do if I couldn't figure it out. Its exactly what I was worried everyone would go through. I really think the kit itself is really good and the effect is just soo needed. Glad it worked out.

My first major upgrage on my newly aquired 94, and I couldnt have done it without this thread. Like you said, Slee's intructions are imcomplete on this. Maybe whoever wrote the instructions has installed this enough times that he left out many obvious steps for him but not so obvious for us.

I was contacted by Slee when I first did the write up so my guess is that they are already re-working the instructions/pictures. Glad you got it going ok!

GREAT job on the writeup. I've been holding off on doing the upgrade but now, I've got exactly what I need. I know Christo very much appreciates feedback to his instructions to make them more "idiot" proof. I say that because I have done my part to help "idiot" proof some of them myself cuz, well...sometimes I am an idiot when it comes to mods .

Compared to instructions from say ARB, Christo's are great. With the additional information you provide they can REALLY be top notch

[NLXTACY]

Thanx CORSAIR!

Now that I've done this, I bet we could knock it out in under an hour. Come on over this weekend, Jeff!

[Jrob80]

[mainemike]

NLXTACY - thanks for the great write up! I've had the Slee harness sitting around for a while, finally got the bulbs from daniel stern and put it all in. Huge improvement over factory lo-beams.

Your write up was fantastic, much appreciated.

[fokkersauras]

NLXTACY!!!! Thanks, I think Slee has your pictures. Have my harness, dielectric grease and cold beer in hand. With your write up and pictures I'm stoked and on my way to the shop!!
Thankyou

[NLXTACY]

Thank you MAINEMIKE. Its niec to know people are at least reading the thread

FOKKERSAURUS, go to town with it. Its cake!

[NLXTACY]

Just as an update, I've had two folks contact me about helping them troubleshoot an install. Unfortunately Slee was closed at the time so I was the next best thing

On both of these problematic installs, both turned out to be an issue with the wiring with the harness itself. Please contact Slee as soon as you can to remedy.

The problem is that the low and high beams are basically switched due to a reversed ground and can most likely be taken care of by reversing the pins but Slee will have the exact solution.

[akarilo]

Been considering this harness because;

I have an odd ball problem that is intermittent on the left rear brake light. This problem only occurrs when the headlights are on. The left running light goes out and brake light does not come on when the pedal is depressed. Turn the headlights off and all functions properly. Don't know if I'm dealing with a voltage drop or what.
I fiddled with it a bit (bulb seating, etc.) and got it working properly but it has since resurfaced. Perhaps the harness setup could remedy the problem.

Thoughts

[azrider]

I would have to say the Slee harness wont help. the only thing you are eliminating(by installing) is the wire run to the passenger headlight, and the original bulb sockets for the headlights. When you say you fiddled with the bulb socket, which bulb? that got it working right. Another question, does the running light and brake light function properly on the right side all the time?

[NLXTACY]

X2 solve the issue first before doing the install.

[MoGas]

I have had one of these harnesses sitting around for over a year. (In the same box as a set of panhard bar adjusters, a TruSpeed, and the speedometer drive o rings) I need to get after it.
