RE Amemiya headlights

[R1Dude]

Hi all, has anyone got a wiring diagram for these lights? my side lights work but full beam doesn`t and flash/main beam only works on 2 of my lights, I seem to have two white plugs (out of four) which have PIAA markings on the cables that are not connected and can`t find where they go, there are 3 relays in a group that wire back to the lights that have a live feed to them but do not appear to click when I turn the lights on. With the dark nights and 2 kids that sometimes need picking up from school I desperatly need advise/pictures of anyones installation, thanks Ade

ade i re wired mine much simpler than using that awfull old relay system i just cut out the whole lot now just have three wires a two earths together each side and the main and full beam wires straight into the bulbs less to go wrong works a treat .
 if you need help let me know

I did the same as Batman Much better than the stupid relay system

How did you you,batman and mr monkey get the full and dipped beam to come on together? with the standard wiring and the standard lamps being h4\'s when you go from dipped beam to main beam it switches between elements in the lamp, thus meaning if you have the twin spot re-amemya lights(or any other twin spots for that matter) then connecting them straight into the standard headligh wiring would mean only one lamp per side will come on flicking between main and dipped beam?as mr dude has said hapens on his?

You need the either two or three relays(depending how you wire them) to get all 4 lamps to work at the same time.

can you get a pic up?

I used a single relay from maplin to do it so that once the main beam is activated it triggers the dipped.

Cheers Batman and Monkey!! (never thought I would here myself saying that!!) going to have a go at it tomorrow will be in touch again probably electrics are not my strong point :cheers

snap same problem.

when you turn the stalk once all 4 spot lights turn on but only the small bulb. when you turn it the second time nothing happens. when i flick main beam the two inner ones work.

is there a way using the existing relays and wiring that comes with the kit to get these working correctly? Or is lighting in Japan to a different standard?

Thanks. sorry for hijack.

The original wiring will work but it\'s so over complicated.  If you want to use (and here I\'m assuming we\'ve all got the old H3 IPF lights) the little bulbs in the bottom of each of the lights you should tap into the side light wiring (that goes to the lights in the bumper) to run these.  Scotch locks are an easy way.

The for the main beam you need to cut off the H4 connectors make the earths from each of the headlight wiring

Find the earth using a multimeter in continuity test mode (one probe to the body/earth and then work around the three wires) - Label accordingly

Find the main beam using the multimeter in 12V DC mode (one probe to the body/earth and with the lights on main beam work around the remaining two connectors) Once you find it label it

The wire that\'s left is dipped beam.  Connect the dipped beam wire on each side of the car to the IPF light unit you are using for dipped beam (the outside light pods are meant to be used for this i think).  Connnect the main beam wire on each side to the other unit and then make a common earth for both lights, either a new one to the body or to the original wiring.  Test this and once your happy you can now work on making them come on together.

What you want is that on dipped you just get dipped but on main beam you get both lights together.  So you need a relay from Maplin and some wire.

The relay has the following:
Input from the battery or perm positive terminal.
Earth Connection to Body
Signal (Tigger Input) from Main Beam Line
Output to Dipped Beam Wiring

You want a SPNO relay, I think the Maplin one might have 5 terminals but you only need 4.  The Terminals are numbered, here\'s how it works:
Terminal 30: Output to Dipped Beam Wiring, You\'ll need to split this and run it to both IPF Light units and then scotch lock or solder it into the dipped beam wiring.
Terminal  87: Power from battery (You can get this from the fuse box if you relocated the battery)
Terminal 86: Input from main beam wire, scotch lock or solder wire into main beam wire - connect to this terminal, you can do this from just one side.
Terminal 85: Ground (to earth)

I\'d suggest putting an inline fuse inbetween the relay and battery for the sake of safety

I\'m just going from memory on the relay wiring and it might not be 100% so please double check.

Thanks very much for your time in explaining and instructions.

I see you are in London. Where :Giggle

I will give it a go but cant help ask specially when its something that you have already done and remember very well.
