Need help with a '68 F100 around the Conyers/Covington area

[freedom]

come on guys ...simple fix ..go get a off road light relay at auto zone 10$ wire it as the instructions say..problem solved

Did that today.

or switch to LED bulbs and drop the amp draw 75%

Leds are expensive. There isn't a bulb, the entire headlight gets changed.

exactly..but its cheaper than a wiring harness and the time to put it in

Maybe, but not by what LMC sells led for

The wiring harness was still $30 shipped.

The floor switch has 2 outputs, and an input. Check the switch to make sure you are getting voltage out on both legs. You can also check this at the relays, make sure you are getting 12v into the switching circuit of the relay. Also check your grounds on both relays.

To make things easier pull one of the relays and try the light, if it works plug the relay back in and try the other. If it doesn't work at leat you'll know what circuit is the issue.

I live in North conyers, worse comes to worse bring it by and I'll look at it.

There's grounds at each headlight, not one at the relays. I did prep the metal till some shine at each ground location.

You can pull one relay and it still works on the one setting, but it works with either relay plugged in.

Not sure, would have to see it for myself. Pm me if you want to bring it by.

Install of the headlight relay harness went fine. It was literally the exact right length, I'd much rather have an inch or three of play though. I left the headlights on for 15 minutes and they didn't turn off, so problem solved and I can drive it to work while worrying about my other vehicle.

One problem if anyone has any insight.

The high low switch in the floorboard no longer switches from high and low beams. One kills the lights, I don't know which. It worked right before the install.

Any ideas?

I think it's a relay for hi and a relay for low
Not a relay for each light
