Car Forum / Chrysler Cars / April 2005Daniel, need help with headlamp wiring
Daniel what am i going to need to re-wire my headlamps (canadian/ u.s.) to european quads. I've ordered the lights from vmaxx and wondered what i'll have to splice since it is single bulb to dual lamps? Is this difficult job? Thanks > Daniel what am i going to need to re-wire my headlamps (canadian/ u.s.) to > european quads.

Caravan. The difference between a dual filament setup and a dedicated high or low single filament is that the dual filament harness & plug has 3 leads; high, low, and ground. The dedicated high or low single filament harness has a single lead hot and a single lead ground. Not too difficult to get a 3-wire plug pigtail that connects to the original wiring, and then splice the hot lead of each (high/low) 2-wire plug to the respective hot leads of the 3-wire plug. Then, either ground the remaining wires from the 2-wire plugs directly to the chassis ground, or splice BOTH ground wires to the remaining single wire on the 3-wire plug. Either will work with a vehicle that has positive-switched lighting. > Daniel what am i going to need to re-wire my headlamps (canadian/ u.s.) to > european quads.

It works fine; I did a two-light to four-light conversion nearly 2 years ago and it still works. > Sharon, let's not give improper advice, K? It's not nice, and it's not > helpful.

Stuff like how to wire it so the lows stay on with the highs, which is necessary on this particular conversion that the original poster is doing. You assumed he has a positive-switched system. You advocated chassis grounds. > What's improper about it, Daniel? It works fine; I did a two-light to > four-light conversion nearly 2 years ago and it still works.

Vestatec (they actually make the headlamps) was good, but they only sell to retailers including Vmaxx. Startech is a hell of a lot better but they do not do headlamps, and you cannot get wheels from them also (because of the laws in Us regarding types of wheels). If you get no response from Vmaxx, I will give you the e-mail to another competitor to Vmaxx, and they are good to get stuff from. henrylogan@NOSPAMcox.net >>How did you get a hold of Vmaxx?

Bill Putney (To reply by e-mail, replace the last letter of the alphabet in my adddress with the letter 'x') David: What vehicle? The total price? Does it need different mounting hardware? Richard > David: What vehicle? The total price? Does it need different mounting > hardware? It is for the 03 Gr. Caravan. No hardware differences, Just wiring for a two lamp system in the US to a four lamp system for Europe. The total was around $750 after conversion with the euro. At least that is the total taken from my account! the look great two. Actually I'm looking for ther body acessories. >> How did you get a hold of Vmaxx?
