    you have pm

    had some great help from IFSJA members lately (Im still after the rear shackle flip and disconnects tho ) and every time it makes me realise how much 'shops' rip me off for shipping to the UK, I dont know why they do it as it really does stop me buying stuff.

    cheers

        If you are willing to ship one up to Fairbanks Alaska, I'll definitely buy one. I have a 75 with a boobie and standard headlights, might eventually add some LED's later, but pretty basic setup for now. I am however, headlamp retarded, and am wondering with the wiring fix what would be the brightest headlight I could run? The stock ones I have now leave a lot to be desired, and being moose country up here the more light the better. Was going to buy and run the E-Codes from BJ's, any experience with these? The LED 320watt lamps I can get for retarded cheap here, but those are going to be bumper mounted.

          The intent of this upgrade is so you can specifiaclly run any lamps uprade on the market. Xenon Halogen standards hid led. shipping to alaska no problem. I'm eating dinner taking a break. I be getting some out the door really soon th efirst batch will be ready Saturday. I'll be working to get those out the door. If you want I'll put you on my list.

          If you can't make it better why waste your time. No use repeating the orignal mistakes. I'm to old to push it that's why.

              Did an install on the Commando to display

              I didn't have an FSJ but the install is just the same the 4 light is a little different but the process is the same.

              First remove the headlights:



              Mount the relays inside in the right (passenger) light socket. Don't mount it in the center of the socket because it will hit the light bulb. Mount it to the right out of the way. The commando is a little different but you get the point. Note the black wire with the self tapping screw coming from the new yellow socket you will see in the pic after this one. Sand off the area below the black ground wire to ensure good connection if area is corroded.


              This is the right (Passenger) light socket. The black male plug from the new harness plugs into the old light bulb socket & then tape them together. The light will plug into the new yellow socket.


              This is the Left (Drivers) socket: Run the wire from the Right (Passenger) side to the left (Drivers) side to the light socket. The wire will run through the grill area & can be tied to the wiring that is there now. The wire has been taped to make it look OEM. The Left (Drivers) side socket will be identified by locating the socket with the longest wires. Mount the black ground wire as shown. Clean as suggested earlier. Just tape up the old light socket. You will not use it. The light bulb will plug into the yellow porcelain plug on the new harness.

              Next you will run the fused wire to the stater solenoid from the relay notice it has a plug so you can disconnect it to make the wire easier to run. Run the wire to the solenoid as simulated & bolt it on the BATTERY SIDE of the solenoid. Now replace the light bulbs plug them into the yellow Porcelain H4 sockets & test them. Your head light & dimmer should work with whatever light bulbs you should want to use.


              YOU'RE DONE

              Yes I know the Commando solenoid is backwards from an FSJ. Thats why I'm ensuring you know to tie it the battery side,

              Wiring may be different for the custom units.

              Let me know if you have any questions.

                I don't mean to nit-pick and not that it matters but a lot of people name the left and right side of a vehicle from sitting in the drivers seat. It may benefit you to rename each side as driver & passenger in the instructions.

                  Check it now it should be good. The right side of the vehicle is indicated as the right side. My bad.

                          Got mine in the mail yesterday! Nice looking QUALITY work. Can't wait to do the install. (After I replace the engine).

                          Thanks!
                          You can teach what you know but you can only reproduce what you are.

                          It makes sense if you don't think about it.

                              Hey Guys

                              I'm working out of town & watching please let me know if you need anything I can help you with.
                              These rigs are all H4's Smow man it will work for upgrades but it will make your wiring & swtches alast longer. It will also lower the amperage usage on the old fuseblock.
                              Good Luck Guys & Hit Me via email If I can help. I tried to make them as best I could with soldered joint & the best quality parts. If there are any issues they are guaranteed.
