PIAA driving light install

I am staring at my engine compartment now and have now freaking clue what i am doing, please help. I am trying to install PIAA 4062 driving lights and and mot sure which wire is my high beams. the directions say to connect the switch power to the high beam wire. where is it? what does it look like? any clues?

 

anyone??????

 

so i decided to connect it to a full time powered source, the horn. now for some reason it is not working.... anyideas

 

I wouldnt think the horn idea would work unless you are always pressing your horn. Try to find a relay in the fusebox for high beams/headlights and try tapping into different wires there. sorry i couldn't help more

 

I am about to get one for my harley creation

 

get a multi-meter or a test light and unplug one of your light plugs from the bulb. turn on your high-beams and test to see which one is hot with the switch turned on.

 

highbeam hot wire is the pink one on the bottom of the headlight housing harness. Solid pink no stripe

 

so here is what i did, i got the power from the horn, as it always has power, horn does not have to sound to turn lights on. it turns out that im an idiot and the reason it would not work earlier is because i was reading the fuse map upside down.... but once i realized what i was doing i got it working perfectly, I just put the wire in the fuse holder, then put the fuse in ontop to make sure the connections were still working, they are, so im done with it. Thanks for the help!!! now on to my next project

 

I'd look at getting an "add-a-fuse" to make sure everything is snugged up. I'm sure it works fine now but for added peace of mind, I'd make sure it was solidly put in place.

Thanks, anyone know if it is hard to take off the dash?

 

What part of the dash? The whole thing? If so, what for? Just curious as I'm assuming this has to do with the light install and I don't see why you'd need to remove the dash...

Next to the cig lighters I am planning on putting the switch, (it's my only free blank switch spot) and don't know how to get to it without taking off the dash, or atleast the center part

 

Look up the thread for installing DTRL (daytime running lights).

Edit...allow me to do the legwork - http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/technical-chat/1475-05-drl-daytime-running-lights-install-oem.html

This thread starts off my showing you how to remove the dash. It's easy.

 

Now that's teamwork!
