Wiring New Hella Lights

To all of you wiring goo roos out their! The new 1400 hella lights my girlfriend bout me have given me a fit. I tried to wire them straight to the battery. I tried to wire them through my head lights just as the instructions say and done just about all I can do.. Is their anything I’ve missed or don’t know about? I am completely new to this process.
Thanks in advance.

 

By the way i was hoping for a way to wire the lights without running them through my head lights.
THanks

 

wire them to a switch.

 

Maybe this will help...

I keep this in the "wish list" folder. Hope it helps.

 

First off, thanks for the help. However I have wired the lights through a switch, have done the same thing that the lighting thread shows, and also use the same wiring diagram that you gave me. I am out of ideas and have no clue what is left to do.

 

I've got the hella 500's and I wired them straight to the battery with a switch. Worked just fine

 

How did you run them? Im guessing the wiring is the same, color wise.

 

I ordered some Hellas of eBay. I plan on using the rhoppas' method of wiring it.

 

Good luck man. It has worked very well for me. Take your time and make good connections...

 

Check your inline fuse... I once scratched my head for a couple hours 'cause lights wouldn't work... then 13 year old son asked if I had checked the fuse...

Duh....... had forgot to put a fuse in the inline holder......
