    Thanks for showing the harness kit install. I put a DIY light harness with relays on my baja. The kit looked so much easier! - I really liked the lights too. My baja has a similar setup with DRI's/turns, but your lights look 10 times better. Thanks for the links!

    Lights look really good. Great video but no solder on the wires? Heat shrink isn't going to hold the connections together long term

    • @FortuneOffRoad
      @FortuneOffRoad  3 роки тому

      Yeah, that's probably the best way to do it, but this heat shrink has worked great for me so far! 🤙🏻

    The led lights are positively switch hed lights and the original head lights are negatively switched. That's the need for the new wiring diagram

    Give these a go for your connections ( no affiliation) "Heat Shrink Solder Sleeve Crimpless Butt Connector". Why are you converting to propane?

    • @FortuneOffRoad
      @FortuneOffRoad  3 роки тому

      I'll check those out, thanks! Propane is safer off-road, no tuning for elevations, runs at any angle, better fuel economy crawling, cleaner burn. Lots of pros, but there are definitely some cons too.

    • @FortuneOffRoad
      @FortuneOffRoad  2 роки тому

      I just split the wire from the turn signal and connected it to the yellow wire on the headlight. 🤙🏻

  • @stormrider8236
    @stormrider8236 Рік тому

    A useful video only spoiled by one thing! Mate, you need to learn to solder!! Twisting wires together and then hoping they stay together using shrink wrap tubing is not a permanent solution! Given that our trucks are now 30-40 years old the wiring loom isn't in the greatest of shape anyway!
    Bare the wire, then clean the end with a scotchbrite or wire wool, then wipe with 'Panel Wipe' or a similar high flash solvent to remove any finger grease etc.
    Using a small soldering iron 'tin' each bared end and then solder together - then slide the shrink wrap up the wire (you did remember to put some on didn't you??) and heat using the gun - Job done and a good, solid and more importantly conductive wiring joint!
    BTW the reason you should use an aftermarket wiring look for running LED lights etc is simply because the switching on SJ's etc is done on the negative side of the light unit, i.e the light always has power to it, and it comes on when the earth connection is made. The loom should be specified: for vehicles with negative switching.

    • @FortuneOffRoad

      Thanks dude! The DRL wires come out of the headlight so the harness just goes from the Samurai wiring to the headlight itself.
