Hid spotlight loom

[Luke Ciseau Lurker Find all posts View Profile Close Luke Ciseau]

Hi I just bought some hid spot lights. The loom doesn't have the ordinary high beam plug in because they are hid. They have just two wires, red and black which go to the high beam somehow. Has anyone ever installed them and can give me some idea on how this loon works properly thanks

I wired the lights up and they work, only one problem they work both on high and low beam and u can't switch them off in lowbeam. Must be the wiring loom. Might be a job for a auto electrician I think

Sounds like you picked up the wrong signal wire on the back of the headlight. My 120 is the first vehicle I've owned that is negatively switched so when I installed my loom I did it like I Always did - hooked up to high beam. But when I did lights did the same thing as yours. Trial and error fixed it - I tapped into each of the three wires on the back of the headlight until I found the right one.

Give that a try, might save you some coin.

I just installed a pair of Narva HID's on a 150 last weekend. We used the Narva wiring loom (was not my 150 and I was not paying so it was easier for me to have the FIL buy the loom). Thie loom has a male plug that the original headlight plug goes into and then tees out to a female headlight plug and a second plug that goes back to the relay to trun the lights on and off. Nothing really different to normal spots. I was impressed by the way the got the high beam signal by using a small Y adapter as opposed to a scotch lock or soldering.

so basically on the back of the h4 light connector there will be 3 pins. You need to connect to the 2 outside pins that sit verticle. Looking from the back of the plug, the pin on the left is common and right is high beam. Connect 1 side of the of the wire coming off the h4 plug to the 85 terminal and the other pin to the 86 terminal. You should put a switch in there so you can turn the spotties on and off so simply just splice in between one of the wires running from the h4 connector to the relay.
