Thumbs up Head lights

Didn't want to put this on someone elses thread so I started this one about my head lights. I installed the relay's myself and did the wiring also. These lights give off more than enough light at night to see by. I bought these at the Myrtle Beach car show several years ago. I have no idea who are where they came from. The bulbs are 60/55 watts H-4 that I run. The other blue tint where in my daughters car that I took out and put back in the regular bulbs. You couldn't see a thing with them installed.The wiring of the relays is pretty straight forward. Take the connector loose from the head lights and with a test light see which one is low beam/high beam. Make sure you cut the wire far enough back so you can get a connector on it. The wire going back into the cab is the trigger wire to relay #86. Then 12 volts to relay #30, ground #85 and the wire off of the headlight connector goes to relay #87 your done.

Get out and drive the truck this summer and have some fun!
It sucks not being able to hear!

LWB trucks rule, if you don't think so measure your SWB!
After talking to tech support at Air Lift I have found out that the kit I need is 60811. Per the measurements I gave them. Ride height of truck inside spring and inside diameter of springs.

Re: Head lights

Is there a relay kit you recommend or are they pretty much the same? I bought some nice Sylvania sealed beams several years ago which helped but never added the relay... I know it needs one as I've fried 2 high beam floor switches.

I mounted mine under my cold air in the front right beside the radiator. I use the ones O-Rielly sells. Bosch 30amp's. They have been installed for 5 years at least and not one problem. Notice one is higher than the other. That is the high beam relay. Just so I know which one is which 20 years down the road if there is a problem.
