Erik, I finally got my harness and Hellas installed today. Your harness is extremely well made and easy to set up. I can't wait until I get a chance to drive it a night.

Thanks for being so helpful and making a great product!
 
Very impressed (not that this hasn't been said before). Need the rest of my parts to complete the install.
 
PM Erik directly as I believe he is still making them. If not, there is a thread floating around with instructions on how to build your own and where to get the parts.
 
Still building the harnesses and auxiliary relay panels. Send me an email at wiredwagon at comcast dot net.

Sent you a PM yesterday. Will send you an email now. Looking for Ultimate Harness for FJ60 shipped to 27608.
 
Erik, I want to use my aux circuit with a standard "lighted" switch. It has 3 prongs (power in, power to relay/device, ground). Would this make it work as intended: ground (for switch light), power in (from the aux circuit) and then ground (what would normally be power to device)? The indicator light should turn on when in the "On" position?
 
When using a three prong switch with an indicator LED to control a relay, the switch has one connection that goes to ground, one that goes to a 12 volt source (ie power in) and one that goes to the coil of the relay (power out). The other side of the relay coil should be connected to ground. This is what would be called switched hot configuration, since you are switching a 12 volt source (hot) to the relay coil. The ground connection from the switch simply connects to ground. The aux circuit in the headlight harnesses I build will have a red band near the base of the colored wire pair for switched hot configuration and a black band if it is switched ground. For a lighted switch like you are referencing, you should have a red band, and you connect the skinny wire to the power out switch connector and the fat wire to the device you wish to power up.

Make sense?
 
Ok got it. I have a red band. If I recall correctly.... the loose red wire can be used as the "power in" for the switch right?

 
I am planning to customize a new headlight wiring harness. I have a question about the existing stock harness. Why are there 2 Positive leads to the stock low beam headlights? Isn't there just one filament?
Do you need to apply positive voltage to both of these posts?
And why isn't the Negative post grounded? I ran a continuity tester and it doesn't appear to be grounded.
Even when the headlight is on, the Negative post shows a positive voltage reading of 1-2 volts.
