    I mounted 4 Hellas I bought last week and they look awesome! :D Only problem is I have no idea how to hook them up :confused:. Ive poked around the site and havent found anything that is particulary helpful. All I do know is that I do not want to hardwire the lights to the battery directly. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated! Oh and by the way the few shops I called around to see if they could hook up charged anywheres from $75 - $100 :eek:Insane!!!

    See attachment. Pretty simple. I have 3 wired to my bumper. Used 16ga red and black wire if I recall. Use solder and heat shrink tube. No electrical tape.

    I bought all of my relays, fuses, wires, and switch from autozone. I had terminal connectors at home.

    Yep. I had the same issue several years back when I connected mine. I thought the switch needed to be grounded. Did not know one terminal went to the battery and the other went to the relay.
