∙ 15y agoyou do not need the extra 7 pin if your not running electri brakes
You cant fit 6x9. 6.5's work but you have to buy the extra harness and a good eye to line it up right.
I have read that you need a "powered" wiring harness because the Elantra routes the tail lights through a computer that cannot handle the extra amperage necessary to drive a trailer's lights. A powered harness connects directly to the battery for power and taps the tail-light wires to control relays.
Yes it is different. I have a 2004 FLHTPI. The wiring harness for the FLHTPI is set up for the extra lights and accessory plugs for the additional equipment/electronics that the police bike is outfitted with. I tried to install the air temp and oil pressure gage in the dash and could not match the schematics on the installation instructions to the wiring harness. I had to bring it in to have the gages hooked up. I plan to add a stereo and will run into the same issue with the wiring harness. I haven't found any good resources on the internet regarding solutions yet.
This is how I did it.. I connected the black and white halo wires the the extra bulb housing with the brown and black wires. Then, my high beam lights were wired to my fog lights because the standard big plug doesn't work with the high beams and low beams. Again, that is how I wired it. Don't forget, you basically have to cut out most of the plastic housing so the head light will even fit.
If you want to disable the "auto" headlight function and I just did this today and worked so good and ideal. Its so easy. Just replace your low beam hot wire (mine wire was purple) with one that was spliced off of your fog light (that wire was purple too, I believe). Ok, so once you do that, the only way to turn on your headlights is when your fog lights are on. So if your fog lights are off then your headlights are too. Before I did this config today, I would have my fog lights on all the time with my head lights anyway. But yeah, that's the catch if you want it easy. Another thing I did to was buy a set of 2 low/high beam camaro harnesses (male and female ends) from eBay. It was only $20. I used the harnesses for what I spliced (from the fog light) to be connected to the extra "male end" harness connector while leaving the original "male end" harness connector next to it so I could easily go back to stock config without re-splicing anything.
Not all the lights are on the same circuit. Check your fuses first to see if one is blown. The owner's manual will tell you what circuit the headlights are on and where the fuses are located. Usually it is under the dash, drivers side far right. You can probably read the circuit name on the fuse box if your eyes are betteer than mine. If the fuse is blown, replace it with one of the same amperage rating. The manufacturer might have put a couple extra fuses in the box. If the outage is caused by a short. The fuse will blow again when you turn on the lights. If this happens or the fuse is good, you have a problem elsewhere like in a wire condection of the wire itself. Daytime driving lights and headlights are also controled by a switch on the hand brake. If your hand brake is on one or two notches your headlights will be out. Let the hand brake off and the headlights come on.
THE STEREO IS CONNECTED TO THE DASH LIGHTS, MOST LIKELY YOU JUST SNAPPED THE WIRES OFF AND TWISTED THEM RIGHT? AND YOU HAD SOME EXTRA WIRES RIGHT? THOSE EXTRA WIRES WERE FOR SOMETHING...JUST GET THE ADAPTER AND CONNECT YOUR OLD STEREO HARNESS BACK... TRUST ME OK I FOUND THE SOLUTION YOU NEED TO GROUND A WIRE THAT WAS EXTRA IT IS BLACK AND YELLOW...-aojedam-
If you already got the halo assembly if not you need to go and get new halo headlights eBay i got mine for celica free shipping, then when you get them just connect up all the wires and then there will be one extra wire that you will have to ground to make halos work. All done nice cool looking headlights good job :)
Sounds like your alternator is going bad. The extra juiced used when breaking robs power from the other lights. Pulsing when idling sounds like the voltage regulator which is built into the alternator. Have it replaced.
Usually lights not working are a sign of a bad ground wire in your car if the fuses are ok. Check the ground from the battery to the block. Some people add an extra ground from the trans to the frame to help solve intermittent electrical problems.
Your best bet would be to call or go to your local auto parts store and tell them you need a "plug in" trailer wiring harness for your vehicle....these are very nice items and easy to install, as you just "plug" them into your exsisting vehicle's wiring harness. No need to "search out" for which wire goes where and no splicing of the wires either. They are more expensive than a "standard" wiring plug, but the "extra" cost is more than worth the "time" and headaches you will save!
