    Ive used several of these on my car and others cars with no probs at all. I just modify it to suit the vehicle and to reduce the amount of unnecessary wiring. I fitted 2 looms to a mates my16 Dmax the other day. 1 for a light bar and 1 for twin 9" led spots. Worked a treat. Even used ebay bought switches to fit his dash cut outs. Hes happy and so am i. I used the supplied 12v relays too as they were hella.

    Cheers Rod

    I have had one of these harnesses on my D2 for a couple of years now, I did swap out the switch and the relay when I fitted it and I haven't had a problem with it.
    I used the relay on a mates hilux when I fitted a couple of led reversing lights for him 6 months back and it is still working so they can't be too "Nasty".

    im having the issue on a 1997 discovery 1 hence being in the discovery one section here

    the light on the switch lights up but the relay doesnt make a click so its not being activated as suck the 24v relay is still in the box i have another relay here to test but il pull this wiring kit out again and repin it again to how it was and reinstall and try again with a differant relay and see if i have better luck next time

    hopefully it isnt an issue with the light bar itself as that would be rather anoying lol but would be a good test drive of the new gearbox tho

    You can, test the lightbar by hooking it up to the battery, Make sure you put + to + and - to- because they wont work otherwise.
    If the lightbar fires up the the problem is in the wiring.

    But I'm with Tombie, in that if the lights are dimming a little, that power is going somewhere, and if the relay is not a well known brand/quality then I'd suspect that first(mainly coz it's easy)

    until the OP comes back with more and detailed info, not much we can help with.

    i will report back once i have finished with gearbox stuff im waiting on parts atm hopefully have them tomorow and then i can start putting the old girl back together and finish my mods to rad/intercooler shroud as my new intercooler is huge and my pwr rad fits weird (im about to make a new thread in regards to what people have done with theirs to give me an idea on what i should do about it)

    and finish egt/boost combo guage then i can work out my light bar wiring properly


    but yes your right power is going somewhere and it has me a tad confused i might call em and see if they will exchange it for another if i cant work it out still and also see if my indicator stalk has anything to do with the problem seeming it doesnt keep high beams on either all the headlights turn off when i switch to high beam but high beam stays on if i keep holding the switch which makes me go WTF lol i have a spare here so maybe that will fix the issue too lol

    all stabs in the dark aside giove me a week to sort everything else out and il get some more info

    also im based in brisbane so if i cant get it to go and 4wd supercentre have no idea and none of my auto lecky mates have no idea il let someone else have a crack in exchange for beer or rum lol

    Same here. my D1 is my daily driver, and o I'm limited with time .. but I'm also working on a new (90mm)I/C & radiator frame to suit.

    definitely needs looking into that light stalk!
    Like someone posted earlier, you should try to test it out off car. try a new relay, hook up two main power wires to battery, connect all connectors in the loom, and then with a couple of short lengths of wire, apply power to the H4 plug end(of the loom, and NOT connected to car).
    Easy done, unless you already have it all installed and routed through vehicle.
    I tend to be suspicious of Chinese made products, and test them before I install(where possible).

    Brother's light bar worked perfect. Brother in laws(as I mentioned earlier) had a clickety relay .. and mine worked perfect other than I cut the lengths of all the excess wires prior to installing and redid the plugs. But all tested prior to fitting.

    With your light switch, when it's set to high beams and it turns off the lights, is this with the light bar still connected(at all)?

    With the lights: if you use the high beam(stay on switch mode), it turns on the high beams, but turns off the low beams.
    BUT!!
    if you hold the high beam 'momentary' switch on manually, it turns on both high beam AND low beam.
    So check to be sure that when you say you hold the high beam, it turns on both the high and low beams.
    Basically, if the high beam fuse has blown(and I'd triple check it to be sure) what you describe is what should happen.

    When you use the On(and stay on) part of the high beam switch, do the main headlights work properly, and then go out?
    If so, probably nothing wrong with your car, and most likely nothing wrong with the light bar, or wiring or relay .. just a blown high beam fuse.
    ie. it's always the simplest things that muck you about the most!

    EDIT: also note and be mindful; if it's just the fuse, you need to ask why has it blown. ie. did it blow out with the lightbar install, or was it already blown?
    So double and triple check all wiring in this loom, check headlights and high/low operation with lightbar loom disconnected, so make sure your cars headlight all work properly first .. then check the lightbar that it works before connecting to car's headlights wiring.
    That is, if you have the light bar installed and it's loom routed through the car, you don't have to uninstall it. just use some lengths of wires as 'hookup wire' to hotwire the lightbar's loom independent of the car's wiring.

    cheers for that il have a look and see if there is a a blown fuse when i bought the car one of the headlight bulbs were blown and some blue light things have since replaced them with standard philips h4's now but iul deffo check the high beam fuse and see what that tells me and im going to laugh if thats what has been the problem this whole time

    i played around with it a bit only one of my high beams were coming on then couldnt figure out why untill i go grab the multimeter from dads car which i keep forgetting to do and then i just got cranky and rewired it all now it works and i love it cheers for all your help also i went looking for a blown fuse regarding the indicator stank switch for the high beams couldnt find a blown fuse so i replaced the stalk and now high beams works like it should

    just think i have a didgey wire somewhere coz high beams works on one side only and doesnt really provide all that much light to be honest so il work out why the driver side one isnt working another day
