LED with high beams

Bigmerce · October 29, 2014

I've searched the site but can't find an answer. I have a Sierra SLE and in the process of installing a 19" light bar in the bumper. I was planning on using the add-a-circuit to the high beam fuse to trigger the relay. On my truck it appears to be a 3 pin micro fuse. I cannot locate an add-a-fuse for this.

Where is everyone else tying into the high beam wire? I prefer not to splice into the wire if possible.

Also, I have read about putting a diode across the relay to prevent voltage spike. Is everyone else doing this?

Grote but different suppliers carry them they are slotted just slip over the fuse tab I'll try to get a pic of one

So that worked on the 3 pin micro fuse? I can't find a store that carries them locally. Would has to order them inland I wasn't sure if it would work.

Yes they make the fuse taps for all kinds of fuses and that's the easiest way

These are some options micro fuses usually are a slip on type because of the terminal size

So it's going to take a while to get this in. I'm going to break down and tap into the high beam wire. Does anyone know which wire on the non LED headlights (SLE)?
