EgoXF 2,026 Posted June 29, 2019 Hey guys. I'm starting the process of wiring up the ute and I have a few questions about the headlight wiring for this conversion. My plan is to use as much as the original XF loom that I can, so I have cut the plug off of an XF headlight with the hope of joining it onto the XD headlight. My issue is that the XF had a separate high beam globe where as the XD just has a single globe, so I need to know if I can wire it in a way that allows the XF switches to control the high beams on the XD lights. I don't have an XD that I can look at so any help would be appreciated, cheers! Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
deankxf 20,231 Posted June 29, 2019 (edited) short answer.. yes. should be almost plug and play. the XF "separate high beam" is not really needed. if you asked this before chopping up the loom i'd have given the tip to remove the wiring from the XF headlight shell intact(fun job getting the gromet out) then you could plug the headlight plug straight onto the XD light. possibly plug the blinker globe holder straight into the blinker housing? possibly plug the parker wires straight on the parker globe wiring "done" you can neaten it up from there.. this info should give you all you need to solder/join the wires back up .. the XF had high beam on the H4 globe, and also on the H1? like a spotlight. where the XD is "missing" the spotlight (XE GHIA light would be direct plug in for eg) Edited June 29, 2019 by deankdx wording edit 1 EgoXF reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EgoXF 2,026 Posted June 29, 2019 Thanks Dean that helps a lot. I'll run the XF wires through a new gromet and solder them back together. The XF indicator globe holder fits the XD indicator so I'll pop that in and seperate the wires from the main loomSent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk 1 deankxf reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SPArKy_Dave 8,831 Posted June 29, 2019 If you have the proper crimping tool, you can easily buy the raw plugs, and make a hybrid headlight loom, thus avoiding any soldered connections. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Polson 10,214 Posted June 30, 2019 Dean beat me to it, but yeah should be easy as. Almost all Falcons have had H4 (or sealed Beam) as their main headlight, including XD/E/F. XF had H4 (which does high and low beam), as well as a H3 for just high beam. All you'll be doing is bypassing/ignoring/deleting the H3 because the H4 will work the same way. 3 deankxf, EgoXF and bear351c reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dvfalcon 352 Posted July 3, 2019 As sparky Dave said, the xf plugs were once available off the shelf at Autobarn been a while since I bought them. Jay Dee auto cables in Baywater sold them as well Dale 1 SPArKy_Dave reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EgoXF 2,026 Posted July 14, 2019 I ended up just using the XF wiring. The grommet from the XF light fits the XD backing so I just transfered them over. As for wiring, I just cut the XF parker plug off and joined the XD terminals onto it. Then I just cut the seperate high beam wires off at the plug. Easy as Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk 3 SPArKy_Dave, steve mcqueen and bear351c reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Good job.Yeah I'll be using split loom, but eventually I'll be making shrouds for the headlights so you won't see any of it Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
