experience with the hella 500 offroad lights?

me and my buddy mounted everything up, and tryed to bypass the feature that only allows the lights on with the brights of the truck on. i dont want to splice my normal headlights, has anyone done this before?
thanx.

 

I'm no expert, but if you wire them straight into the battery you could use them whenever. I might add an inline fuse too. That's how I'd do it.

 

Agree with above, if the switch is a lighted type, you need to find a power source that turns off with the key. Or it will stay on all the time.

I went ahead and added a extra fuse block and a large in-line fuse. And with all of this I still needed help from a members here

I splice into the parking lights..........idea from Dark Knight

 

I tapped into the main fuse panel to an unused fuse slot (around the middle, don't have pics right now) with a "add a circuit" you can get at local auto parts place. My lights come on anytime which I prefer, I just have to make sure they aren't left on.
