H4 Conversion for Pop ups need help w/wiring

[TommyDSM]

I purchase the H4 Conversion for my pop-up, but having problem wiring them. I also got the H4 Harness from pep boys. Does anyone know which wires go to what? The pep boys harness has White, Blue, and Black wire.

Hey that sounds like a cool idea. Could you post a picture of it when you are done? I was thinking about doing something like that too.

Im gonna have to fall back on my days of stereo wiring to help with this one. It sounds to me like the black is obviously ground, the white is probably brights and the blue would be normal lights. Dont take my word for it though, test it. Take and touch black to your ground and the the blue to the postive, and so on. It will tell you wich is wich. I dont think you'll blow anything cause its all twelve volt anyway. What colors are the factory wires for the head lights in the car?

they are all red, but have color strips.

Black = Ground.
Test the white and blue each separately with power to see which is regular headlight and which is hibeam. Then put the key in and turn your headlights on and test each of your red wires, the one with power is the headlights, so hook it to either white or blue, whichever was dimmer. And the rest should be self explanitory.

Really sorry that I can't help you but would you mind telling me where you got the H4 conversion? I thought it was a PITA to do, not plug N play?

Red and Yellow is low beams. since i just fixed that one yesterday. Hey how much was the harness, also where are you putting the bulbs? are you using one bulb for both beams?

I purchase the H4 Conversion from Ebay. And the H4 Harness from Pepboys. Its pretty much Plug-N-Play except for the Connecting the H4 Harness to the Factory Harness because it doens't just plug in to each other..

I paid 5 dollars for the harness each, since you need two. Yes I'm using either H4 bulb or 9003 bulb for both beams...

 

[pianoman]

are they the replacement housings or are you mounting the bulbs in the clear lens on the front of the car?

 

[TommyDSM]

They are Replacement Housing

I just wanted to collaborate by adding this picture for future reference.

After installing the harness the first time, I noticed it didn't light up right. So, I decided to do more test and I came up with the right combination.
I strongly suggest to install a set of Relay (2, one for Low and Hi). If you are going to do it. -Install the ground of the relay directly to the ground of the headlight's wiring harness otherwise the change of light will be slow. Also, you have to ground the bulb directly to the chassis.

Hope this Help for further reference.
Alex.
