i suck at wiring

[Swamprat]

ok so i bought a set of hella 500's, i didnt buy the fog lamps but the driving lamps. and im trying to set them up to use on my ghetto rack. im sitting here trying to figure out how to use them with out splicing into the headlamps, like it says too. im sure i'll figure it out like i did with my other lights.

get a 4 prong relay. Its the best way to do it. Read the instructions on the relay kit for exact set up but its a ground, power then it connected to the lights and a switch in the cab. ground the lights gorund the switch and bam working lights. dont forget an inline fuse to the relay as well make sure its heavy duty and run that waire at a 10gauge or bigger for best performance. I am a wiring guru when it comes aftermarket stuff like that.

ok well i bypassed the wiring to the head lamps. from the switch i have the red one going out to the battery, black to lights, and blue to ground. its temporary and i doubt i'll even turn the lights on before i get an actual set up with its own fuse box and all that nifty stuff. but its gunna have to wait till i get paid.

If u werent so far away Id tell u to bring it over and i would wire it all up.

haha i think i have it set, and i think it'll be a few weeks before i make a nothing sorta long drive. but thanks anyways.

this is how I wire everything that I use a switch on. I do not like running power through a toggle switch. Until you melt one you might or might not understand why......

i've melted one before, but it was a cheap one from autozone.
