Question about HID relay harness kit - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

MCeatalot · 01-28-2008, 10:53 PM

Ok, so I finally gave in and bought a relay harness for my HID kit. The only problem I have is there's 3-prong socket that I have no idea where it goes. I've attached pictures.

The socket I'm talking is circled in red

Here's a closer look:

Any thoughts on where it goes?

On a side note, I'm in the midst of "modding" my cam6. Here's a quick glimpse at it:

that should attach to your low beam wire from your car. wichever closest right or left.
it actually triggers your HID's to come on via relay.

You got the wrong harness.

he's right, you got the wrong relay cable I believe. Because it should be either a positive or negative terminal or a connector that plugs right into the original factory plug to signal it to turn on.

This may be a bit pricey, but it is the right setup...

I recommend making your own,
but if you dont want to go that route you can always buy one.

H4 harness? Couldn't he just cut the head out and splice the 2 out of 3 wires onto a new plug (h11) ? Just ingore the one that triggers the highbeam? (is that what it does?)

yes i have, just contact him, he is the best i have dealt with, really cares about his customers.

Also on that H4 harness, if you cut the H4 connector off the white wire should work for your lows.

you can still use that harness but you will need to modify it.

there are two types of relay harness on his website

for 5 dollars more, he sells a relay harness with resistors....

is that really useful or is it more a nice to have....

what do you guys think?
