Ok, I have the 4crawler harness and it seems that my high beams went out. I unplugged it and the high beams are back on. Anyone have experience with this?

 

Check the power and ground for the high beam relay. Perhaps a wire worked loose. Also, try swapping the high and low beam relays, see if that makes any difference and helps to isolate the problem.

 

I will do this tomorrow. Thanks!

 

Matt, imagine if the CEO of toyota watched YT this closely. Just another reminder why if I need some thing that 4C sells I'll get it there.

 

ok, I switched relays and low beams went off and highs were on

The relay is bad, is this a generic problem or am I unique?

 

Might be the relay got wet or perhaps the contacts are dirty. I once got water in both my relays/sockets after power washing the engine. Left them out in the sun to dry for a day and they were fine.

See if you can feel the relay coil click when you turn it on, if so, that would indicate dirty or pitted contacts.

Relay can be replaced with a generic Bosch-type headlight relay (put the generic one in the low beam socket), the high beam relay needs to be the special type, or replacements may be ordered on-line:

i can hear the relay click when I hit my highbeams. I will try to clean them off tomorrow. Man, those are some $$$ relays

 

They are special dual contact relays. The low beams can use a single contact relay (like most auro parts stores carry). Also, have the high output 40 amp relay available as well, works well for 130watt bulbs.

 

I had to go to the store last night and my lights didnt turn on at first. I had to flick the switch a couple of times.
