    « on: April 07, 2009 - 07:04:58 PM »
    Ok, just converted over to the H4 low beam lights and I am concidering doing a coversion to the high beams. What do I look for when it comes to bulbs. Do they offer an H4 with 2 progs? My low beams are 3 which was no problem but my hi beam plug is 2 prong. HELP???  :1zhelp:   :clueless:

    I ask the same question some time back...the solution is only hook up two wires.

    do they not offer a 2 prong H4 bulb for high beam ?
     if not just bend the 3rd tab out of the way & connect the 2 prong plug , you onmly want it on with high beams anyway

    H1 bulb is the high beam by itself.

    I would, but I fear that I am already taxing the charging system. I am about to get a 80 amp alt. Just to replace the stock one. I assume that 80 amp is higher then the stock alt. Am I right there?
       With hopes that it will be ok. I want to put in a headlight relay but I am a  :clueless: when it comes to electrical. So I don't want to  :eek4: it up.

    You need to change to headlamp relays if your running that high of a wattage bulb, get the load out of the old harness & swith. & think about udating the newer Denso alternator.
    You can find good info on Goodys web page.

    I was thinking about redoing the complete headlight harness Like Goody did. Where does it detach? I was going to pull the old one and build a new one with the relays. Any help would be great!!

    There is not a factory "headlight only" harness. Like mentioned, it is entwined with many other circuits.
