Question MFU lights ???

After installing a pair of PMD square headlights on my latest project, I found out that I now need 2 LEDS per side for the headlights. Can I just add an LED per side in parallel to the normal headlight LED or some other way? Thought about using the fog light LEDs so I would have seperate control for low and hight beams. Any help would be appreciated. I am installing a MFU in this truck.

Thanks,

Lynn

Default Re: MFU lights ???

As long as it is in parallel where it draws the same voltage as normal it would be fine.there is an extra plug in the mfu (number 14 I believe). You can use a tlu-01 light set but on the plug there is a ridge on one side that has to be removed for it to fit into the socket. I did it on my mfu and it was fine.

Thanks, What controls the extra socket? Is it controlled with the running lights?
