If your car has negative switched headlights, (Most Japanese cars from early 2000's) follow this guide guys! He does a really good job of explaining everything clearly and explains every part of the way. This is cheaper and better than any of the adapter harness's, which are really hard to find/determine which specific one you need for your car. I did this for a 2010 honda fit and most other Hondas from early 2000's would be the same. There's a comment in here about reducing the output slightly because of the diodes, I can say that I did notice it too but because the lights are so much better and brighter than the stock halogens it didn't matter to me. (Edit) Honda fits are positive switched headlights and this process will work fine you will just have to switch the orientation of the diodes.
Another tip guys, keep your soldering iron hot and be as quick as you can with the diodes, these seem to bee extremely sturdy/ heavy duty but I have heard from other enthusiasts that they have ruined a couple of diodes by overheating them when soldering.
The project in this worked by luck only,because theoretically this guy is wrong but practically the circuit worked.The diodes are properly attatched in forward biased but they worked because of the ground pin switching of the headlights,he shows the wrong direction for working of Diodes.
Great info, ordered from your Amazon link. For HIDs you could probably run those diodes if you're powering ballasts with a relay harness, just wire them to the relay coil circuit
Theoretically yes. HIDs are usually only 35watt, maybe 50. The biggest concern i would have with HID is that initial surge of power to ignite the bulbs. You can try, worst case youll fry some components, maybe the diodes, but they are beefy diodes so they should be able to take it.
@@NextLevelNeo oh I wouldn't wire the diodes to ballast power. I'm talking about connecting diodes to the OEM low and high + leads like what's done with the LED projectors, but they'll be connected to the "trigger" circuit of the relay. Very low current is needed to power those circuits.
For cars with 9005/9006 connectors, does it require a ballast/harness/LED driver if I'm looking to install Bi-LED projectors? Can I not just rig it so it connects to the OEM connectors? I mean, if a ballast isn't required when running LED bulbs then why are they required for Bi-LED projecors?
I like to instead add a relay kit to change from switched ground to switched positive. Use the wires from your original plugs high and low to activate the relay and give you full power straight from your battery. Plus it takes all the load off your factory switch
I tryed that on a car that has projector low beam and a reflector high beam. When i installed bi led projector high beam works only if low beam is on so i used 10A10 diode so the high beam can work when low beam is off but diode is getting VERY hot.
i got a 09 ford focus and when i turned on the low beam they work but as u said in the vid the highbeam just turns the whole thing off will this fix it? just cant find anywhere for anything about the time of highbeam whether its negative or positive switched thanks

Hi there, very good video. I have a situation. I bought Sanvi biled laser projectors 3". The projector has 5 wires, 2+ and 2-, for the low and high beams. I guess the fifth wire (yellow) is for the laser, but, when I join that one with the high beams, the projector turns off and restart. I am testing the projectors with a 14v laptop adapter, could it be the reason of not getting the laser beam? Or does the wire need diode? The projectors uses canbus because of my car (Hyundai Elantra i35 2013). But, another situation is, when a I connect the canbus, nothing work even the projector, and when I connect laptop adapter directly I can see the low beam and the hight beam, less the laser because of the fifth wire. Any guidance or information will be welcome, thank in advance.
That was the first video of yours I watched. Very informative. Thank you for making the video on it bc all others were videos after the Install was already done. How can I get in touch with you?
hey man, im really new when comes to this thing i have a scooter and i wanted to put this on as a headlight 2 of them actually. and i have no idea how does this work all i know is it needs a relay and again idk how that works. i need a 5 year old kind of explanation for that topic. thanks in advance!
@lain6578 small lights can be extremely difficult to work with, at times impossible. The goal of videos like this is to make it as easy to understand as possible but unfortunately some things just can't be that simple. You may need to reach out to a retrofitter to have a set made for you.
@@ThangNguyen-xl2vk these will absolutely work on the tacoma. Just keep in mind if they are power or ground triggers since that will change the way to make it. That is explained in the video.
@@NextLevelNeo Hi , i just did the wiring harness but got no luck, low beam working but high beam still doesn’t work, tried messed up all day now , for sure the high beam blown fuse What i do now ? Flip the diode ( hi-beam )
so are the diodes so you don't ground both hi and low? could you omit the diodes if you want to run both hi/low at the same time all the time? i mean wouldn't the shutter do its job as far as not blinding people when in low beam? also i hear a 3d printer in the back
The diodes are a one way circuit. they prevent the signal from back feeding. If you want both hi and low all the time then you could just connect both high and low ground together. Without the diodes its just a basic power ground circuit, but this would open the shutter anytime the low beam is on, so you would be blinding people with the high beam anytime the projectors are on. You also need to consider each car varies. Some use ground switches some power. You will have to adjust the diode orientation and wire layout accordingly.
@rachdhaliwal9493 we do not because there are many different variations. This is covered in the video which is a tutorial to show you how to make your own.
@@NextLevelNeojust finished this. Found out the hard way that you have to flip the orientation of the diode for the H4 with 2 positive switches. Thanks for the video! Btw ordered as much as I could through your affiliate link lol
@ryanchetty7188 a common ground and switched power just needs the diodes flipped 180 degrees. You run power through the diodes and ground goes straight to the projectors
Using diodes is a simple and economical solution to power the low beam when the high beam is turned on, but I don't recommend it since it decays the power of the projector slightly, or in my case of using a biled low beam 70w the decay of intensity is too noticeable, I had to repeat all the wiring again and add a relay that positively feeds the low light with 70w. Generally positive battery
@@luisangelmancilla4601 If your vehicle or motorcycle uses normal polarity (two positives and one negative), 85 and 86 would be negative and signal high light, 30 is low light projector and 87a is signal low beam, thus the relay comes (NC) permanently bonded 30 with 87A without the relay being active and thus gives you low beam, to pin 87 you connect high beam signal (85 or 86) making a bridge, high beam of the projector and that's it, when the relay is activated, it will activate high beam and through pin 30 it will power the low light of the projector, so you will not have to use diodes that cause voltage drop.
@@SpraytechLLC-wp9uz low beam signal 87A, low beam proj 30, 86 negative and 85 is high beam signal, 87 high beam proj and make a connection between 85 and 87 with solder, when you turn on high beams, it will activate relay and high beam proj, and will connected between 87 and 30 the low beam proj
On some cars you may need a canbus resistor. That will stimulate the load of a halogen bulb, if the car looks for that load and doesn't see it it may trigger a dash light or in some cases the lights won't work without it. I don't belive the 03 ram has that though, but i could be wrong. Either way that is separate from this harness.
@@danmccarthy5247 that's because there are many different variations. You have to figure out what layout your car has. This is why we don't just make a harness and sell it. There are too many variations.
I tried for hours with my Hyundai Getz harness and only managed to burn the headlight fuse a few times. Can't figure out how it works. I tried from one positive to another (when you power the high beams you would also power the low beams, doing a jumper with the diode between both but didn't work) tried the way in this video and also didn't work. I ran out of ideas :(
@@NextLevelNeo it's a normal H4 with the square type plug. With a multimeter I checked the pins and I got constant 12v on the side parallel ones and negative on the top centre pin. When you turn the switch on to low beam only one side has 12v and the top is still negative but if you flick the high beams the negative top dies, the left positive dies and the right pin now is the one with 12v but the other two pins are dead (in another words, unless I earth it directly to the car I can't get the high beams to close the circuit...) Weird :(
I use 30a diodes, using smaller ones may be result in a failure. here is a link to the parts i have been using for years with good results. amzn.to/3D2UGFc

@@davidgilson867 correct, but you also have to flip the diodes 180 degrees. They are directional.
Make a video like this for the 9007. I have an Srt-4 so that would be very useful for me. Thanks
The process is the same you just need to find a pinout for the 9007 to determine which pins do what. Even with a 9007 not all cars are the same.

Generally no relay is necessary. But it would depend on the factory wiring gauge and wattage load of the projectors.
