J.W. Speaker 8800 Headlight Install (Easy)

[CarolinaFJ]

I installed the Maxxima LED headlights and ran into the same problem. The lows don't stay on when you switch to the high beams. I've tried different pin orientations but doesn't seem to make a difference. Anybody got any suggestions?

Hmmm, this is interesting, I installed an ebay harness (I know, I know.. the price was right and I was low on cash..) and had the same situation with the high/low lights. I pulled it out and everything was back to normal. I was thinking of switching pins around, but didn't want to screw anything up, however I'd like to put the light harness back in, since it did make a difference in the old Sylvanias and I want to upgrade the headlights. I'll be keeping an eye on this waiting for one of the electrical gurus to hopefully straighten us out.

I just installed the newest version of the evo 2 8800s on my 88 62 and I didn't have any problems it was straight plug and play. I was worried there would be some extra steps from reading some of the posts but they simply plugged in and work great.

Not real sure if I dig the new design I kinda like the older ones with the large black lense and small black lense in the middle. But they do work phenomenally.

so you have hi low on the outer ..? ( HID or LED )

Ya LEDs, the high beams are inside and low beams are on the outside.

Hi guys, does anyone know if these will work in the 80 series?

I'm installing Evo2 Low Beams and did the black/yellow wire swap. Using stock harness. Low beams only work when HB is ON. Anyone have this problem? Any suggestions?

For some reason, my low beams will only work when I have the high beam engaged (both high and low will turn on when high beam is on, but low beam won’t when headlights are on).

Hopefully I explained that well enough - anyone have any ideas?

Instructions for LED Headlight upgrade

Here are the instructions I used to get the JW Speaker LED lights to work in my 1990 62. I’m not a mechanic, elecrician or a very bright guy so if I can get it to work, anybody should be able to do so. It took me a while to do this but most of the time was compiling information which I have...
