Having high beam switch control

[bwmiller74]

I matched the wiring for the factory harness that goes into the headlight and removed the unused wires. It's not difficult, just have to take your time. The longest part was figuring out how to get the WPT-1321 to release the pins.

Here is a video that will help with changing the pin/wires on the WPT-1279

Make an LED headlight Harness - if you don't want to t-tap factory

 

[bwmiller74]

As noted the setup/diagram Flzrider shared works as it was intended. However, it wasn't quite what I was wanting. I have finally came up with a diagram I am confident will work to achieve my goal.


By default All lights will turn on Automatically when high beams engaged WITH AUX6 acting as switch to disable. So basically when AUX6 is in the 'ON' position the Auto ALL ON will be disabled (turned OFF).
Aux1-3 turn on/off lights independently

Very nice, thanks for posting!

Headlight harness made and works perfectly!!! No splicing! Had to trim a little ridge off one side. Took awhile to repin, but I can confirm these are the right parts. Installed and working!!! So excited not to hack into factory wiring. ��

You didn’t have any problems with the WPT1321?

The one I got has one of the little ears/tabs on the outside in the wrong spot to slide into the WPT1279. It looks like it would fit, other than that. I could cut it off and make it work, but don’t want to if it’s the wrong part. Just curious what you found.

 

[SpeedJunkie]

Thought I would just update. I just cut the one tab off and it worked fine. Just finished the installation and everything works great.

I have the M&R (both light bars) on AUX1, the BD fog pocket lights are on AUX2. Both tied in to only come on with high beams and the appropriate AUX switch activated. I have the KC flex on AUX3, manually activated because I like to run those during the day also.

Lastly, BD S2 rear lights are on AUX6, just manually activated because they are bright enough that I don’t want to use them all the time.

I got it all installed and works amazing!!! Exactly as I wanted it with the high beams auto triggering all the lights and ability to disable the 'auto all' with AUX6 flipped on. AUX1-3 have independent control of the lights as described earlier. Wow what an amazing amount of light these Baja Design Squadrons put out. I've basically added another 25,000 lumens to my high beams on top of whatever the factory LEDs put out. I'll get some night shots later... here a few pics of my beast and some of the new harness all buttoned up!!!

Sure would be nice if someone fabricated this harness. Someone could probably make a fortune on us guys who don't want to put t-taps on their brand new $70k truck. Just sayin....

How about it Nick@Apollo-Optics

It’s really easy to make. Just buy the wpt1279 and wpt1321 and connect them together. Then tap the high beam wire with this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00CMC5DII/?tag=fordraptorforum-20

Probably took me 20-30min total.

@Uncas, thanks for the tag! But it sounds like as @SpeedJunkie mentioned above that this method of installation isn't too terribly difficult with the parts mentioned.

I didn't tap when I made the the harness. I removed all the unused pins and soldered a lead wire to the appropriate high beam wire. I made that lead wire about 8" and connected a weatherpack connector, which then connects to a longer wire back to my relay/aux light box. so you can easily remove it if you want too. You're looking at about $50 for all the parts, but thats a small price to pay to avoid splicing factory wiring on the bestest truck around
