Hi, I am trying to wire my additional driving lights to come on with main beam on my 2016 NP300 Tekna with LED lights. I appreciate the main beam in -ve. I have found the wire that I think is correct (pin2 red) behind left side light. When I test this I get the correct reading in voltage when beam is off and on but I get a pulse from the wire so am concerned that this is also controlling something else and dont want to blow the system if I connect up the wire to my relay. Has anyone any idea where I should connect to get the lights working on main beam. All relays in place and an isolator switch is installed.

NP300 Spottie Problem
Hello,
I am trying to wire up a set of spotties on my NP300 ST-X and its causing quite a few headaches.
I learnt that there was a possibility of blowing something up so i did the right thing and got a Nissan spotlight wiring harness.
However, now that its fitted I have lost all my high beam!! Still have low beam but no high beams at all - headlights and spotlight both.
Does anyone know what the hell is going on or what i may have done?? The harness was pretty simple to install and i have double checked it all.
HELP Please

That would be greatly appreciated if you have the diagram. Mine are also wired to a switch on the dash. The idea is if the switch is on the lights will activate with main beam. If the switch is off just the standard factory fit lights will work. All went well till I tried to connet to the main beam circuit.

Sadly I seem to have lost it, sorry. I had a poke around under the bonnet and wow, it's a mess. I hate getting professionals to do wiring - they always seem to do such a half-***** job of it.
They have patched into the high beam plug with at least two wires but the whole lot is covered in tape and I can't see which wires specifically they have tapped.
There are a couple of threads on the Navara.asia forum on this exact subject that may help you via Google.

Just an idea but obviously there is a negative and positive supply to the high beam.
Could the relay not be wired with feeds from both to trigger it, using terminals 86 and 85?

Think I only need the one wire but my problem is that the negative trigger for the main beam is negative when the main beam is on but when off there is a pulse going down the wire that will just keep triggering the relay so I will have a constant strobe effect (something to do with the multiplex wiring). I would try this but am concerned that I am just going to blow the electrical units on the car. Nissan services referred me to local dealers who just refer me back to Nissan!!!
Nissan were the ones that told me it was not possible to fix an a-bar to the vehicle as this would cause problems with the forward emergency braking. As you can see this is now fit with no problems at all and the FEB works as it should so I have given up asking Nissan. They make a nice truck but from my experience they dont know anything about it.

I mentioned in the other thread running on this that my installation has a tap wire connecting to an ignition-switched circuit. My driving lights do not operate unless the ignition is on, even though the high beam does.
I wonder if this is related to the pulsing voltage you're seeing?

You may have a point with the ignition bit. I am going to finish wiring them this weekend so that they just work off an independant switch. When I have time I will take down to a qualified auto electrician and see what they can do. If they do get sorted I will post the solution.

Have seen this and spoke to a supplier but they though I could have problems as the main beam on the NP300 is worked off a -ve switch and they said this supplied 12V and worked fine with older vehciles. I will look further into this as it does look like the kind of thing I would need and am sure someones makes one compatible with 2016 Navara. Thanks

Think I have solved the problem. Just ordered on of these at about £45 including postage and have been assured it will work.

I will let you all know once it has been received and fit.
Thanks for all your help.

I'm pleased you've got it and hopefully it will sort things out but is this not the same thing I linked to you? :scratch:

Sorry yes it is the same but the first time I approached them I was told it was not compatible. After your post I took it up again and they have now confirmed that it is compatible with my vehicle and will do exactly what I am after so thanks to you I re-addressed the situation and hopefully will come out with satisfactory result.

All working now. The CanM8-Main beam sorted it all out. If have installed an isolator switch on the dash (got this off ebay and it matches the other switches perfect) so if this switch is off lights operate as normal. If this switch is on its Blackpool illumiations. Never took so long to wire in an additional lighting before but I was not giving in. Thanks to all the help and advise I have received. Cheers.
