heres the wiring that comes with the parts…so, any of the wiring mods in this thread with relays will work ok, whether using LED or using conventional stuff?

Yes. I started out with a harness like that and spliced in a waterproof relay on each. You can also use one for both but it is easier to just use two and keep them separate. I ran conventional lights for a while before upgrading to led and so I had to fix the highbeams being triggered on those. I did not change the wiring for leds later and it still works as it should. I just used the advise if others in this thread and it works great still.
Mine is a 96.. I guess it could be different for other years but I think everyone has had the same issues

+1 on what he said. I'm running a similar harness but added relays for my HID lights with direct fused power from the battery through the relays, anything to offload from the 20 year OEM harness.
has someone posted a simple schematic of how to adapt the relay to the existing wiring?

yup…read several times and aktundra’s post (403?) seems most strIght forward but am looking for something more simple if possible…thanx
I have a 94 I am doing this for but no LED just regular bulbs…how might that simplify your directions? and what do PS and DS mean? thanx
PS=passenger side
DS=driver side
Sorry it’s been to long since I did this mod, (the ‘70’s was not kind to my memory), to be much more help !
haha…me too…the DS/ PS helps a lot…doh!
Anyone have QUALITY / WELL-LIT, head-on shots of an 80 with the one-piece small-hex grille, round headlights and an ARB bumper? Pics I've seen are too bright or (mostly) too dark to see any real detail. TIA!

I hear you. I’m on order 600 or something like that, and I don’t have very many photos. It would be nice to see more pics.
Appears to be a two-piece as well, but I'll take what I can get. Nice shots, too, thanks! Any more (picture) takers?It's not an ARB bumper but here's some high-res pics of mine

I will be ordering new inventory soon, however I do have a few options left for 80's right now. Grille only for the early 80 series, and grille/headlight combo kits for all years. PM if interested.

I'll add a twist to this topic. I went with a set of quad beam housing fitted with heated JW Speaker 8800s and Kelly's center grille section. I'm still working through the install but here are a few teaser photos.
I just have to figure out where to relocate the turn signals to since the intercooler piping interferes with the factory lights. I had previously run turn signal wiring into the corner light assemblies using a two-filament bulb but that won't work anymore because the quad-beam side marker lights don't have room for such an arrangement.
