led headlight retrofit on 84 not hid or h4 headache

hey all trying to find a pigtail(as in relays ect) to retrofit led 7x6 genssi headlights in my 84 .Toyota has a ground switch headlight system iam toatly unfamailer with every post I find reverts to hid or h4 but these are the 7x6 that replace your stock halegons really frustrating I cant b the only person to do this found a post on here that started out with same question including pics of high and low beam but couldn't figure out what the cure was .if anyone has a link for a wiring pigtail for sale would be great. the ones linked wernt compatiable with Toyota. any advice is appreiciated .the leds are such a vast improvement that its worth the effort to make them work other wise id put halogens back in .I consider my google kung fu above average but really hitting brick wall with this one

Headlight harness

Any generic headlight harness will do, but may require some pin swapping..

maybe contact this guy on you tube, he has some sort of adapter he shows wired up and he sells genssi headlights

if you have the same ones, I would return them...output looks really anemic

Yes, wiring relays as 4Crawler illustrated ^^^ will work on headlights that require switched positive power.

HOWEVER...

SECOND THAT.
Anemic and as the guy in video says, "Great Spread"... They clearly spread up to the skies.
If you install those you'd be joining the band of A$$holes who light up the heavens and blind others.

If you want better lights but are not willing to a $360 on Trucklites, please consider (in order of priority):
1) H4 connector conversion harness that will minimize power loss over the wiring and will help prolong the life of your dimmer combo / stalk switch,
2) An upgrade sealed-beam with better halogen bulbs inside, THEN
3) An upgrade 6054 / 7" x 6" housing that all0ws you to use your choice of halogen bulbs that use H4 connectors.
