    How to mount Hella's...???

    OK, now that its done show us a picture!!!! Did you make sure the hot lead inside the lamp housing is properly insulated??\\ Thats what caused my problem.... When I put the lamp back in the housing the hot lead got caught between the lamp assembly and the housing. I guess the driving had...

    Got my lights and brush bar on today

    No, thats not it....I don't have a top bar (above the hood line)...I looked and looked and could only find one that is exactly like mine.. Any others out there have an idea? There are literally NO markings on the bar at all!!

    Hella problem....

    Yes, thats one way to do it, but I wanted the "ding...ding...ding" to happen if somehow my aux lights get knocked on during the day should I not notice. Don't want a dead battery where I go!

    Took apart a "premium" speaker yesterday

    Someone here said "The crossover routes the tweets to the tweeter on that side. It also routes the audio the the rear door speaker for that side' A crossover blocks specific frequencies from going to certain separates IE tweeters,mids,subs... If you run a tweeter directly from the head...

    Hella problem....

    Hella Problem FIXED I found the issue and it was simple and STUPID...Inside the lamp housing you have the two spade connectors, one for the ground and one for the "hot". Well, I decided to tape around the "hot" side so that it would not contact the lamp ground. It still did, so this time I...

    Hella problem....

    Ok, I found out so far that the relay went as well.. The wiring is all correct and no where that I can see is a cut in the wire or anyplace that a hot can ground out. The ground has .03 ohms which is the same at another factory ground.I am going to check the whole wiring harness again. But the...

    Hella problem....

    I'm sorry, but I have to disagree they are off road lights. I have had Hellas for many years and have used them for slow trail rides in the summertime without any failures, some trail rides were more than 2 hours and no more than 10/15 mph, so no cool air blowing across them. I'm thinking about...

    Hella problem....

    I am using the wires that came with the kit.. Nothing deviated except for the fact that I hooked the "high beam" wire now goes to my parking lights. Other than that everything is by the diagram.. Grounds are good.

    Hella problem....

    Ok, as most of you know I just got the new Hellas installed and working the other day.. Didn't have them on except for testing and ooohs and ahhhhs. Well, tonight we took a trail ride, both sets lit up the trail extremely well. Then after about 20 min the bottom lights went out, top lights still...

    How to mount Hella's...???

    :cool:Punching the wires is actually pretty easy! At the drivers side firewall just under the power brake booster where the firewall meets the inner wheel tub you will see a knock out. Now, inside the drivers side remove the kick panel puul back the carpet (its attached to hard foam, I just...

    An interesting idea....

    No, there are already plenty places for "other 4WD's"....This is the only TRUE KJ place, I think we need to keep it KJ only! I really don't want to have to look at "new posts" just to find Ford this Chevy that....I like KJ just the way it is....Now if only there were more action going on in...

    Got my lights and brush bar on today

    Actually I bought it used and there are no markings on the bar at all.. The closest one that I could find that exactly matches it was called ARIES.. Sorry, I can't be anymore specific. It is very strong and well built, no cheap thin metal or shotty welds. Extremely heavy duty!

    Synthetic oil

    Ok, let me see if I get this right....My sis-in-law is a Dr. with a chemistry Doctorate, she explained the synthetic 710 debate... Regular oil has spheres, rods and cones in its atoms/molecules with the emphasis being on rods and cones. Synthetic oil has ALL spheres.. Now, obviously...

    got the lights all.......

    I wanted my lights to come on WHEN I SAY SO! Plus, its no big deal around here how there hooked up as long as they are not on and covered if on road! Thats what I am told. By a local garage.... That said. I tapped into the parking lights so that if ANY lights were left on I would get the...

    got the lights all.......

    hooked up. they work great, just wating for it to get dark so I can see what I can SEE! The hardest part was drilling that fricken hole in my roof and fishing the wires! But, I just went ahead and put the drill there and scratched the surface, I thought to myself, well its scratched now, might...

    Running the wires for lights

    Well, Like I said, I got the lights installed and am now running the wires. I checked out the threads related to this project and found the plug under the power brake booster, but for the life of me I could not find the same plug on the inside!!! I see the main harness then I see the smaller...
