Customer Reviews: Hella Rallye 4000 Wiring Simplified December 12, 2008 B. Grauel (Raleigh, NC) 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
This wiring harness makes the installation of the Hella 4000 lights fast and easy. The hardest part is selecting the configuration for how you want your lights to work (with parking light, highbeams, etc...). It comes complete with switch, relay and all wires are color coded. Its pricey for a wiring harness but worth it.
It's a pretty nice harness. December 8, 2009 NotoriousSEG (parkersburg, wv) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I bought some Hella 4000's to go on my FJ Cruiser and needed a wiring solution. I am not an electrical guy, but I was intent on doing the install myself. There was no way I would be able to put together a harness on my own out of raw parts, so I needed a solution. The solution that made the most sense to me was the one provided by the manufacturer of my lights.
It is going to be hard to wax poetic about a bundle of wires, a relay and a switch, but Hella does put out a nice product. Despite the fact that I had two small problems, I gave this rig 5 stars because everything is of such a high quality.
My problems were simple ones and might not even affect your install. First, I didn't use the switch. The switch that came with the harness is an extremely high-quality, Euro-style switch. It looks like OEM equipment in some Teutonic land yacht, but it didn't work with my Japanese interior AND it isn't lighted. No big deal. My other problem was that I crossed a couple wires and the relay stuck open. I rapped it with the handle of a screwdriver and it has been fine ever since. Again, no biggie. That one was my fault anyway.
All in all, I am very satisfied. It features nice, heavy gauge wire--and plenty of it. It's pre-cut and pre-configured for the less electrically inclined among us.
The instructions were easy and made sense to a complete newbie. The bottom line is: my lights are installed, they work and I'm happy.
