High beam/lightbar

[Gordo993]

Hi all!!!
I bought this kit to use my high beam switch to power my lightbar. Evidently, my lightbar is too powerful and needs a relay. With the lightbar powered off the battery, how do I wire in the switch?

Did your lightbar come with a relay and switch already?

That a simple solution with the high beam kit is it supplying power via the highbeam I'm assuming?
You will get a 5pin relay and wire it as following
Pin 85 or 86 can be used from highbeam switch as power
The other one goes to ground. This energizes the relay contact that holds the load of light bar
Pin 87 or 30 fused power supply from battery
The other pin would go to light bar power.
So in short
Pin 85 power trigger from highbeam switch
Pin 86 constant ground
Pin 87 to light bar
Pin 30 fused power from battery
Pin 87a (NOT USED)
Ground light bar to chassis or know good ground
Hope this helps

yep.
85 - Red from high beam trigger.
86 - Black from high beam trigger.
30 - Fused battery power positive.
87 - Positve to light Bar.
You need to ground the light bar back to the frame or other point.

Common 4 pin automotive relay will work.
Most big bars come with a relay wire harness anyways.
If yours did... then just need to hook the red to the trigger wire of that relay wire harness setup.

I like to use the 5 pin just incase I want to trigger something on when I turn the primary off buy using pin 87a
But yes a 4pin will work just fine as long as it is normally open when not energized I've picked up a few normally closed by mistake
