Second the vote for Lightforce lights. Our have survived over 30K miles driving through Central America. They are tough as nails, stay cool and shine brightly. The interchangeable lenses is pretty cool- especially if you have a dishwasher (we don't right now). The ability to aim the lights (wide to pencil) if fun at first, but after a while I just leave mine alone... of course, I do have one pencil and one wide, which I wouldn't be able to do with other brands of lights, so I guess it is a handy feature after all!

Does anyone out there know how to make the high beam indicator work with an aftermarket headlight wiring harness? I'm staring at the FSM wiring diagram and can't see how a diode or resistor would make the indicator lamp work. Can anyone "enlighten" me? TIA
60wag: Due to a hard drive crash earlier this year, I seemed to have lost the wiring details...I purchased the universal "heavy duty" harness from SUV lights. I remember when I installed them at first there were two issues: (1) when I turned on the high beams, both the high beams and the low beams were energized and (2) the high beam indicator did not light. I don't remember how I solved (1). For (2), I ended up running a separate wire from the high beam solenoid to the indicator light in the dash board. I purcahsed a wiring harness repair part from toyota so I didn't have to cut into the OEM wires. I pulled the wire (crimp terminal) from the connector and replaced it with the repair part pigtail that I soldered to the new wire.
Gah! I have been looking for a toyota only harness - I'd like to do this "right" - ARB wasn't very helpful...
I could be wrong but didnt someone on here mention that the high beam indicator WILL work with the ARB / IPF harness?
Thanks
Thanks
Buddy at ARB told me this, I have not tried one myself.

Thanks
yes he did. Well what he said was he had never heard of an issue with it not working........
and when Wayne made my gizzmo for my h-4 non toyota harness, it just pluged into the driverside unused(now) headlight conector.......that was it, just a little metal deal that goes magic
I can try to find it and take a pic.....

Where's mah cruzah?
What Pimp's talking about sounds a lot like a resistor... I'd definitely like to know the value of that resistor!
yeah that sounds about right..............suppose i am gonna have to go look for it now?

You got it. Inquiring minds want to know...
Also, what is everyone doing for BULBS?
I plan on running the Hella Euro Specs and the ARB / IPF Harness but am undecided on bulbs.
I would like a stock or slightly brighter then stock (just enough not to get harrased) low beam and a silly bright high beam that lights up the entire trail when i am wheeling or in the dunes.
Anyone?

whatever you choose, make sure they are not self grounding. there should be two wires coming out of the housing. i run perlux myself.beachedFJ62 said:
I run normal Hella 80/100's in mine, love em.
think there is a 80/135 or a 100/135. But I think the 80 low is about perfect.

hey landpimp did you happen to find a picture? I'm getting ready to install some IPF's along with the wiring harness does anyone else happen to have any more pics or diagrams of the routing of the harness? Thanks in advance guy's.

but I did find this, a set of Lightforce 240's I tried on my 100 a few weeks ago, nice light but DAMN big

this(the gold thing) is the little "gizzmo" or at least it looks the same as the one that I used for the 60. This is however part of a h4/H1 headlight harness.
