Upgraded wiring harness from 4crawler
I'm sick and tired of the jacked up switching for the high and low beams on my 89 4runner and was looking at the wiring harness from 4crawler as an alternative. I have not been able to find anyone that has used it however and am asking that if you have installed the harness did you have any issues with it?
Thank you in advance.

Thanks! That is what I needed to hear. Do you remember if getting the harness installed made the low beams any brighter? Mine are as dim as can be.

I did an h4 conversion on my 86 truck. Best improvement I have made to it so far. My lights were so dim I could barely see 10 ft in front of the truck when it was raining (it was about as bright as my 4runer is with one burnt out low beam) now its so much better.

As of right now Roger does not have that harness kit in stock. I am waiting to buy one, if he does take the plunge and purchase the minimum order quantity.
It has to be better than stock, has to be. With his harness installed you no longer have all of the current going through the sterring column to power the lights. They will draw directly from the battery with a relay turning them on.
I did the H4 conversion with Hella lenses and Hella 100/80 W bulbs. I really want to put the new harness in, as I am drawing far more current than stock even on low beam.
Maybe we can get a group buy going? Any interest out there?

This is especially needed when upgrading to the H4 lenses with higher current bulbs.

You, however should benefit from the harness since you have a wonky switch.
You still might wanna do the checks that Roger has on his website.

I didnt use roger's harness but I did make my own. I used 12ga wire through relays for the lights and I didnt really notice a difference. I think if I wanted to notice a difference I would have and if I didnt I wouldnt.
Much like using high-dollar RCA cables or HDMI cables at home. If you are trying to justify the cost in your head, you "notice" it, 99.99% of people wouldn't notice any difference listening to Michael Jackson with a $2.00 RCA cable, or a $100 Monster Cable RCA. Most people wouldnt notice a difference in their picture quality either in a cable that came in the box (a cheapie) or a $150 Monster Cable either.
My son use to "run faster" in his brand new shoes as well and some kids can "make more free-throws" when they are wearing their new Jordan's.
If you upgrading the lights also then everything changes. I am talking stock to stock with just wiring upgrade.
Just my opinion.

Hmm. Site still says out stock. I have been wanting the harness since I got my h4 conversions close to a year ago. Maybe Roger will jump on here and confirm he has it. Then the mad dash to buy em begins! It's the yota equivalent to tickle me Elmo!

When I got mine his site said he was out. I emailed him and he said to just order it. I got it a few days later and his site said they were still out of stock. Email 4crawler, he is very fast at responding to emails and very helpful.
