Holden VL Turbo Commodore Headlight Harness Upgrade

VL's have terrible factory headlight wiring. In this video I install a ready made headlight harness upgrade and I am super pleased with the results.

Love the vids mate, great to see someone doing good work on a vl and not the usual shit you see!

[@dalevloghlan8771]

Thanks mate, keen to make more vids soon, got a few big things happening on the car, should make for some interesting viewing 👌🏼

[@joshuawatson9486]

Good work brother on doing something about those headlights. I think I'm going to do the same to mine.

[@dalevloghlan8771]

It was super easy, worthwhile for sure.

[@lukegrady6713]

Awesome video bloke, inspired me to do upgrade mine !

[@dalevloghlan8771]

One of the best upgrades I’ve done 👌🏼

Yeeeeeeeeeeew

[@thisnthat2270]

Awesome vid dale very informative , Do you think its worth getting Led bulbs and do the harness upgrade or do you think keep the halogens

[@dalevloghlan8771]

Harness upgrade is 100% worth it for either of the bulbs

[@thisnthat2270]

How did you manage to get the big dust caps back on behind the headlights

[@kaycoghlan1837]

Awesomeness xx

[@lukegrady6713]

How do ya get the rubber dust caps on nicely?

Great video. Have you got a link handy for the particular harness you bought? Cheers

[@dalevloghlan8771]

I got that one on eBay, but I noticed that holdcom.com also sell them now 👌🏼

@@dalevloghlan8771 awesome thanks. yeah i got a holdcom one in my cart haha. I'm binge watching all your vids

[@dalevloghlan8771]

Thanks for the support mate. Hopefully they motivate you to tackle some jobs 👌🏼

Hey mate, with this harness are you still able to use the factory dust covers that go on the back of the headlights to cover the globes? Looking at doing this to my VL, not too much info on these harnesses however.

[@dalevloghlan8771]

With standard globes they should fit back on fine. My LED’s have little ballasts on the back, so it’s a tight fit having the ballast and the extra plug in there so mine are mostly on.

[@grovebmxa]

Excellent, going to have to find some time to get this done!

[@thisnthat2270]

@@grovebmxa I cut an small X into the back of the rubber dust cover and poked the loom through

Hey m8 can u help me here. Looking at H4 narva light bulb. But it has high n low beam in the one bulb. Is that right or should I get only low beam one and a separate light for high beam

[@dalevloghlan8771]

H4 is correct for the high/low beam globe and the other globe is a single filament H3 high beam. When you hit high beam the H4 will light up the second filament and the H3 globe will turn on.

[@l3n221]

@@dalevloghlan8771 oh got ya. I thought last owner put the wrong bulb in. There a H4 already in it but doesn't work on low beam but only on high beam. Springs not broken inside. But sure what's going on then...

[@l3n221]

Sorry , when high beam turned on only the H3 light comes on. Parker lights work. But getting nothing from H4 bulbs, that's on both sides. Might be a wiring issue, fuse is good.

[@dalevloghlan8771]

I’ve had the whole headlight harnesses play up before. I would check the H4 headlight socket with a test light or multimeter, might be some corrosion etc or it could possibly be your indicator/headlight stalk, there’s contacts inside that could potentially fail.

@@dalevloghlan8771 good news today, ended up being the fuse, put a bigger one in and now lights working. Im missing mirrow n cruise control fuse, is it bay 16 and what size fuse? Thank man
