81110-60P70 Koito light kit into a 1980 BJ40 24v?​

KOITO light kit arrived, and i'm a little leary of the mass of wiring it came with, ...especially pulling power off of one battery?

Stock Headlights are 12v, rest of truck is 24v.

Is my concern about pulling power off of one battery warranted or is the connection just a trigger for the relays?
If anyone has done this mod it would be great to hear.

Does "upgrading" the harness really improve lumen delivery?
and how does it compare to just swapping in the lenses and bulbs pulling the same wattage?

Thanks CD

I added this kit to my 24V HJ60. I also inquired about the same things your asking, but didn't get much of a response, so I'm following this. In the end I just connected them and left the mass of wiring in the box like you're suggesting. I'm not sure how easy it would be to incorporate the relays into the center-tap system we have. Plus, there seems to be no wiring diagrams for said centre-tap system which doesn't help.

I’ll add some pics and the wiring schematic in a bit...

I would be also verry interested! @Onur mentioned that he found some 24 V Denso relays for them in Japan. But I still dont know which ones exactly to get.

Any 24v relay will work. They all operate the same way.

@Onur - is there any concern about pulling power from one battery?
