Little help on 4 hi mod

[DefendHawaii]

Ok here is what I did and now some issues arise . I plugged one relay into one low socket and the other into another socket so now all four are on all time but my battery is showing way low.

Also I have new fuses should I use a 15, 20, or 25 fuse in illuminate spot ?

I do not have fogs either I just pulled that picture from another forum

i just fused the power side of my relays, meaning from the battery to the relays. i didn't put any other fuses anywhere i don't think. so forgive me if i don't have an answer to that question, think i put maybe 15 or 20 amp fuses inline to my relays.

Ok so here is what is happening. What I have right now is on low all 4 are on. I have one of my Relay harnesses set up on the battery and grounded on that passenger side the relay is plugged into the low on that low light socket.

Now on my driver side the other relay is plugged into the fuse center relay box and grounded on that size. That side is also plugged into the low light socket.

So what now happens is when the lights turn on I am running both low and high's with only set on the low.

My battery meter starts to fluctuate some when I turn on my heating or other electric stuff. Is this going to hurt me to bad.

I was planning on keeping 4hi on most of the time since this truck is driven now mostly in the woods and on trails and not in the city where it would blind a bunch of drivers. I live up in the mountains and the fogs help with early morning driving to the snow resort nearby.

the way mine is set up one relay is off the low beams, and one relay is off the high beams. all 4 don't light up until i turn my high beams on, and that is via the diode between the 87's between the high relay and the low relay

Sorry where is the 87 relay? I really can not find it. lol that is my biggest issue.

 

[branndon_b]

it's one of the pins on a relay, i was talking about my aftermarket relays that i bought and installed when i put my hid's in. the pins are numbered, think there's a 30, an 85, an 86 and an 87. if you're hooking up inside your relay box, you may not have corresponding numbers on the relay, but i'd think that you would.

Oh. Like your HID relay harness? I might unplug the 4low set up it scares me the fluctuating battery gauge. I think it had to do with 4 ballasts firing up at once.

Ok. I just bought a new 12v 3m brand electrical repair kit. Time to start splicing and working on this set up.
