Humvee LED headlight wiring

[jckkys]

I got a pair of Humvee LED headlights made by TruckLite. There are 3 wires ending with male bullet connectors coming out of the back of the housing. There's nothing like the 3 blade female plug for powering most headlight bulbs. I don't want to butcher the original harness, so I have to find or fabricate a pigtail adapter. It would have to be some kind push in plug at both ends. Has anyone found or made something like that?

They do make those "male" type 3-prong adapters to fit the stock harnesses. Not sure where to get them, but since all the new relay harnesses come with them, they should be available somewhere.
Attaching those to your lights so that your stock "female" 3-prong light connectors would just plug right in would seem to be the direction you want to go.

If you can, please share a link on those headlights. I’m curious what they look like/price. Good luck with the wiring. Thanks, AL

I am pretty sure the HUMVEE is a 24V electrical system. Will those lights work on 12V?

The female plug that accepts the 3 blade prongs on the back of incandescent bulbs is made to accept stripped wire to be crimped in. They will not accept the male bullet connector of the TruckLite LEDs. They would simply duplicate the ones on the existing harness that work OK and don't need replacement. I need pigtails that have the male blades on conventional headlight bulbs to plug into those same existing female plugs.

TruckLite technical assistance told me that many of their LED headlights are dual voltage by means of internal circuitry. So a 12V feed is just as bright as 24V. I don't know how exactly that works, anyone can call them for themselves. I think I'm going make my own pigtails, tho I would prefer manufactured pigtails.
Here are the headlights I bought;https://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-Milita...e=STRK:MEBIDX:IT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2648 As most know, TruckLite LED bulbs are as good as it gets, and these have rippled lenses that look more stock while still being top quality LED headlights.
