I have changed the headlight switch before. Thought the problem was fixed till last night. Did it again... Now some reason every time I turn on my headlights on, my amps turn off then back on. I'm not pushing a whole of power to my amps but I still don't understand and this has to do something with the head lights kicking on and off. Thank god for LEDS though coming home.


I'm using H4 bulbs, not the crap full house all in one bulbs for 30 bucks at AutoZone.


I don't know if the turn on wire is wired to the wrong wire for the amp behind the head unit.(Most likely case)


Should I just upgrade the wiring for the head lights?


To much power on one wire or something?


Bad ground?


Suggestions plz

General consensus here seems to be to upgrade the headlight harness before upgrading the headlights. OEM headlights can cause switch failures.

Well just switched the wires for the amps, now the amps turn on wire was hooked to the dash illumination wire explains that problem...


But this is a wiring kit it this usable for what you talking about? If not please explain what exactly the headlight harness is.

Cruiser’s Headlight Upgrade Harness Instructions
　
It's an easy to install supplemental headlight harness.

From the factory, the voltage to the headlight bulbs travels from the battery, inside the cabin, to the headlamp switch, and then back out to the lamps via undersized wire. It's not uncommon to find only 10.5 volts at the lamps.

The supplemental harness is installed so that it provides battery voltage to the lamps and is just triggered by the factory wiring. The result is about 30% brighter headlamps and headlight switches that don't melt and burn out.
　
　
Absolutely plug and play. Remove grille and headlamp bulbs. I fed my harnesses from the passenger side starting between the battery and the back of the headlamp housing, over to the driver side. Plug the driver side bulb into the new harness. Attach the new harness's ground wire under one of the small bolts on the radiator support after scraping the paint off under it. Attach the harness to the existing harness behind the grille working toward the passenger side. . Plug the new harness plug into passenger headlamp. Plug original headlamp plug into receptacle on new harness. Attach the ground for the passenger side just like you did the driver side under a radiator support bolt. Attach relays with provided bracket on the passenger side inner fender. Connect power wires to battery.
