Headlamp Identification

Properly identifying your vehicle’s headlamp system is a critical step in the plow installation process. Using the wrong plug-in harness or isolation module can lead to lighting issues and potential damage to your vehicle’s electrical system. By confirming your headlamp type before you begin, you ensure a safe, efficient, and trouble-free installation.

Why Headlamp Identification Matters

Your vehicle’s lighting configuration dictates exactly which electrical components you need for your WESTERN® plow system. Whether you are using a two-plug FLEET FLEX system or an older three-plug setup, the isolation module and headlamp harness must be perfectly matched to your vehicle’s specific design.
