anyone install DAYSTAR 1000 series lights??

the extra wire is probably for the switch.....especially if the switch lights up. is it a 3 pole switch?

 

well,ok......so are you saying its a 3 pole switch?? normally, on a 3 pole switch, there is the earth(ground), supply(12v +) and accessory(light)...if thats the case, try hooking it up that way. post a pic of the switch if you dont mind.

 

hmm....with a 2 pole switch, way i always run lights is........1 from swith to battery with a fuse, other to lights, and ground from lights to battery. on a 3 pole switch, and both ways im mentioning are without relays.......is what i posted above. you wouldnt/shouldnt need a power in and out separate i wouldnt think. and i have never had any problems with any lights i have wired........and most of the time, i've never used a relay with them.

the switch had 3 connections for power to lights, ground, and power from the battery/fuse.......this is correct.

 

.......................does the switch appear as if it will be a light up switch when its on???

 

ok.....one will go to the battery with a fuse link, one will definitely go to a ground, and the other will go to the lights. it may be trial and error since we arent sure how their switch is set up...............but im guessing brown is either accessory or ground......., so try black as ground,brown as lights and red as battery with fuse.....if it aint right, just swap them around a bit. the fuse.......for trying it out...use a 10 amp fuse.

 

ah......i didnt realize the friggin lights had 3 wires.

 

blah,blah.....go to chat room!
