Don't know a thing about the Safari harness.... Good luck! -L   joshua Frances (Joshua) Member Username: Joshua Post Number: 191 Registered: 10-2002 Posted on Monday, April 28, 2003 - 09:45 pm:    Leslie I thought you would say it but.... Don, scroll down a page or two under the tech discussion topics. Last week there was a great thread titled "safari lights" and a bunch of people spoke up with some great info email if you have any other questions, I had your same issue a few years back Joshua   John Moore (Jmoore) Senior Member Username: Jmoore Post Number: 604 Registered: 10-2002 Posted on Monday, April 28, 2003 - 09:55 pm:    I finally got my 4000 hooked up on my rig. All I can say is WOW! Those things are bright!   Usoff Tsao (Usoff_tsao) New Member Username: Usoff_tsao Post Number: 26 Registered: 02-2003 Posted on Tuesday, April 29, 2003 - 02:25 am:    kinda unrelated but I have a pair of hella 500s that are hooked to turn on with my highbeams. could this work with the 4000 if I replace my 500s?   Brad Russell (Bradnc) Member Username: Bradnc Post Number: 250 Registered: 03-2002 Posted on Tuesday, April 29, 2003 - 08:53 am:    I think you'd need to use new wiring with the 4000s. I'd suggest buying the harness. But yes, you can wire them to work with your highbeams   Nathan Hindman (Nathanh) New Member Username: Nathanh Post Number: 35 Registered: 07-2002 Posted on Tuesday, April 29, 2003 - 12:46 pm:    My brother had a pair of Safari 5000 lights on his Disco XD. Side by side next to my D90 with a pair of Hella 4000s, the Safari 5000 lights looked pretty pathetic. Needless to say, shortly after that comparison the Safari lights were replaced with Hella 4000s.

The Hella 500 wiring harness isn't heavy duty enough to handle the higher power of the 4000s. Thanks, Nathan Hindman http://www.Pangaea-Expeditions.com
