Re: Heavy Duty Wiring Loom
Brett,
The only difference is the relay part of it (3 relays instead of 2) and that extra wiring plug I have shown in the pics above. Plus I just noticed that the part number is M002L
If you need any more info. please let me know.
Thanks for your help.

Mate, spoke to my cousin and he has never heard of the M002L model. He thinks it may have been custom made for this guy by his local dealer as the norm is only 2 relays. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.
Mate, I don't think it's custom made because it is exactly the same kit as shown HERE The instructions mentions 3 relays as well, but they seem to talk about land cruisers and the like.
I may have to visit the local ARB shop to sort this out, but thanks for trying anyway.
In regards to the "L" this was on the plastic bag containing the wiring loom, so I presume it refers to the "LOOM" and not a specific part number. The part number on the box itself is M002

Re: Heavy Duty Wiring Loom
Brett,
Do me a favour mate and check your high beam dash indicator. Tell me if it still comes on with this wiring loom added or not?
I have just done some searching and realised that this extra wiring harness which confused me is actually meant for Land Cruisers which have negative switch headlight operation, it can be ignored in our case.

Should not make any difference which side the loom is powered from as the indicator only needs voltage, not current.
We're lucky if that is the case, as the rest of the guys reported that their high beam dash indicator stopped working because there wasn't enough current to power it up with the ARB wiring loom. They ended-up needing a diode and high wattage resistors to make it work again.

Re: Heavy Duty Wiring Loom
OK Guys,
Fitted the ARB wiring loom today after figuring out what to do with that extra wiring harness that was there. Easy, leave it un-connected
I can't report the same positive results as Brett, as the wiring loom simply had no impact whatsoever on the IPF Fatboys.
I couldn't tell any difference between the brightness of the passenger side which had the ARB wiring loom and the driver's side which had the factory loom.
At one stage the driver's side looked just slightly brighter (to me)
There was no change both in low and high beam, so to me the only advantage of having this wiring loom is ensuring my headlights are running on separate relays and have thick guage wires instead of the thin factory ones, apart from that, it seems the IPF Fatboys are bright enough and can't be any brighter.
I would have gotten worried if they'd became brighter, as they will be a killer on the road LOL
The only negative aspect of this ARB wiring loom is that the headlight connections are fully exposed, meaning the wire connections are all visible. This won't be much of a concern to me as a city driver, but it would be for those taking their exy off-road and doing creek crossings.
I suggest you have these connections taped or sealed somehow.

Re: Heavy Duty Wiring Loom
Might be a silly question Jalal, but just for the record I suppose you had the engine running ?
