What should be the right way to tap the high beam signal?

I've tapped the high beam from battery. I need to tap it from fuse box using a tap and will do so in a few days.

My wiring is detailed in this post. http://www.team-bhp.com/forum/test-d...ml#post4192362

Thanks. I think the high beam signal should be tapped from the fuse box in the engine compartment using a fuse tap.

Will this be waterproof?
Will this be safe?

Can you post a pic of what you plan to do? A pic from the internet would do.

Thanks

The main requirement for high beam to work in Micro XP Fogs is just 12V input for the solenoid to raise the flap. So we can very well tap that power from the fuse box itself. If you read the post just above the post I've referred to in my ownership review, you'll see I've taken power for a 12V socket using a fuse tap. Same can be applied here also.

I was wondering If I could do a similar setup on my Ecosport. Which of the following products will work best :

Now assuming I don't go for a highbeam switch, the installation would be a direct fit to H11 connector, right ? Help

Very much possible.

I have just ordered the following item for my friends EcoSport.

iPHCAR 35W Bi-xenon projector

Model ordered: M612

For only a Low Beam setup, you'll just need to plug in the H11 connector of the fog lamp into the ballast connector. You can leave the solenoid wires as it is since you don't want high beam.

How will the H11 Led fare in these projectors? Has anyone tried them?

How to align the projectors? Today I fitted in our Swift zxi+. This is the output with both in low beam. I want to elevate the fog projector little bit. Please comment.

Can you post an image of how the projectors are mounted (especially the side screws)?!

Also please post an image with the light output on clear wall at a 25 feet distance comparing images with ONLY fog lamps and headlight low beam + fog low beam.

That should help in knowing how much the fog light beams must be raised or lowered.

a4anurag Sir, I got them installed in the MASS. He aligned the light by tightening and loosening the four mounting screws. Tomorrow I will post the image as you have mentioned Sir. Is this the process to align?

That's quite a neat job. MASS folks are quite good in this aspect - helping people install what they want in their cars & not just following their service schedules and books.

As for the beam - I think he has aligned them very well. This is how the fog light cutoff should be. Point it even a bit upwards & net result will be a beam going directly into the eyes of oncoming drivers. Since they are mounted very low, upward pointing beam has a high incline even with marginal change.

If you insist on still moving it upwards - the way the mounting & bumper design is - there is no proper way to "adjust" the beam of these projectors. Insert a washer between the clamp & bumper around the mounting screw in the top side 2 screws on each side. That will throw the beam upwards. Increase the number of washers & the beam will go that much more upwards.

Check this video on YouTube. He has installed HID fog lights, with remote controlled high/low beam function.

Interesting! I have done a BT relay operated setup for the HID fog lights in my Nexon as a DIY, to switch them ON/OFF via my mobile phone instead of a manual switch in the dash (aesthetically poor) and a hole in the firewall grommet. (Although projector high-beam solenoid is directly tapped into head lamp high beam and works together with it.)

I had documented it here for all, including the HEX codes for operating the BT relay using a free mobile app. -

Now that's even more interesting

In my city Surat, I am not able to find a shop who can do such neat and clean job. So, I am planning to do my projector installation a DIY. Is there any thread/video/theory where I can learn wiring?. I want to learn both fog light and headlight wiring. I have been going through this forum and internet, and so far I have reached where I join ballast to stock fog light wire because it's just coupler to coupler . Connecting the high/low shutter wire is the tricky job.
