    Hell yeah those look sick. I like the low profile look of them. At first I was like, what is he showing? I see nuthin. Only 8 more hours and you can test em out. Where they easy to wire. Was it a whole kit switch and all?

    :bananadance::bananadead:
    haha theres about 6 inches of wire off the back of them and thats it.
    Lol they arent even bolted down.

    I thought wireing was going to be simpler, but I started researching a little more and its a little confusing from what Ive been reading.

    Idk if I need a relay or what, and people are using the fuse box under the steering wheel. I thought It was just like ground the wires, run a wire to the switch, throw a fuse in there and complete the circuit.
    :confused:

    depends how much power you are running through the circuit.

    relays are definitely recommended with lights... without them you will be replacing fuses frequently.

    however if you have a heavy enough switch you will not need a relay, such as a rocker switch with a grounding device built in.

    wiring on the lights comming out is just red and black.
    they are LED if that matters so are low power.
    18 watts
    9-32 volts

    red is power and black is ground

    you can hook those up to a switch without a relay. just put a fuse b/t

    i have my 3 hellas (HID) hooked up to my fuse panel. no relay. then hooked up to a switch

    how did u want to wire yours? switch? or with your high beams? fogs, etc

    ...too much shit to list.
    You don't need a relay to run that.
    It's only pulling 2 amps so you can run it through just a switch.

    haha yeah i know the red and black part.
    cool thanks.
    so ground them, and extend the red wire (from the back of the lights) inside the cab to where the switch is, and then from the other prong of the switch find the hot wire inside the cab and tap into that. where should said fuse go? between lights and switch or on the other end of the switch.
