Help, the low beam and running lights are all the sudden not working. Any advise is appreciated. Replaced the relay and they still don't work.

Coolerman, you rock! I have been messing with this issue on and off for quite sometime. I followed the red/green and red/yellow out of the dimmer, testing them along the way and under the dash the previous owner had tapped into them for fog lights or something and left the wires hanging. I...

Devilman, I'm digging through some theads on headlights. You mention bypassing the original wiring and using relays, could you elaborate? My headlights don't work on my 76FJ40 and I've tried about everything and instructions or pictures would be apprecaited.

Hello, I am requesting some guidance on the vacuum hose routing on my 76 FJ40 2F engine, Aisan Carb. The Previous Owner removed the smog components. I will also note that I live in Denver and although the PO was from the area, It's original owner had it registered in CA. My concern is if it...
