cannot get my hellas to work please help

Ok after messing with my hellas for way too long they still wont turn on..im trying to set it up so that i dont have it wired to high or low beam just so it turns on and off with the switch..does that turquoise wire they give you HAVE to be used for them to work? i have them connected right to my battery and switch but left the last prong on the switch empty cuz thats where the turquiose wire goes..is that the problem?

 

The turqoise wire supplys power to the switch for the illumination, then you should have a relay that has to be grounded and supplied power, then from relay to lights. Did it not come with a wiring harness and instructions.http://search.yahoo.com/mobile/s?re...&pcarrier=AT&T&pmcc=310&pmnc=410&fr=onesearch

 

yea i used the relay and harness and grounded it i just left out the turquiose wire cuz i dont wanna have to have my high beams or low beams on to use it i wanna jus flick the switch n they r on..im guessin i have to use the turquiose wire?

 

I think you need to attach the turquois wire to a constant/switched hot power supply. Thats how it would work with hi or low, you tap the wire that only gets power through it after you hit the high beams, so if you want to turn them on whenever it would need to be a constant hot source.
At least thats my logic. I'm no wiring master by any means though

 

You dont have to use the lights to power it, just use a power source that that turns off and on with the ignition, cigarette lighter ect. Switch has to be grounded also, then load wire to relay from switch. Power from battery to to relay, ground relay, then from relay to lights.

 

I followed this thread. You need a power source. I think your answer is on post #7 where he taps into the fuse box. I did the same thing and it works for me.
