Wiring diagram for installing driving lights

This wiring diagram will stay with the car so make it neat and easily readable. Pictured is my wiring diagram for installing two fog lights with fuses, a switch, and a relay. Making wiring easy with these kits. All harnesses include a switch and necessary connectors for plug and play installation. This hook up does away with the headlight lamp connection. Your lamp kit harness my have different wire colors. This hook up does away with the headlight lamp connection. Loosen the stud or bolts securing the fog or driving lamp to the bracket to adjust the lights up or down.

Loosen the mounting bolts to the vehicle to adjust the lights left and right. Position the vehicle on a flat surface at a distance of 25 feet 7. Measure the distance from the center of the lamp to the ground and mark off the same height on the wall. For Fog Lamps, adjust them so the top of the light beam is 4 inches mm below the center line mark on the wall.

Halogens are less expensive than, say, HID lights, but the latter give off the brightest beam per watt of power. Note: Check your local lighting laws to make sure these lamps are street legal where you live before you begin the installation.

Choose a suitable place on your vehicle for the lights. Some states have restrictions on where lights can be mounted, so contact your local road authority before you tackle this project. Most driving lights will come in a kit of two lights, fitting hardware, and a wiring loom.

As an alternative to a wiring-loom kit, you can individually assemble a relay, a dashboard switch, a fuse using the recommended size for your light , a T-piece connector and enough wiring to reach from the dashboard switch to your car's battery and then out to the driving lights.

A wiring diagram can guide you. The switch will activate the driving lights when you turn on your vehicle's high beams. Most vehicles have a pop-out-style compartment for mounting auxiliary switches, but you might need to drill a hole in the dash. Drill a hole or use any preexisting holes to mount the relay. I just know how to wire it to a switch. I will try and research a little bit and see if I cant find you something. Go to a 4x4 shop that sells offroad lights and just buy one of the pre-wired wiring harnesses for any of the brands of lights they sell.

They're all the same, brand-wise, because they all do the same job. Once you get the wiring harness that has a pre-wired relay in it, all you do is connect it to the lights and then connect the harness to the battery and a good ground.

A pre-wired wiring kit will make child's play of getting the lights working. And make no mistake, you cannot wire in driving lights without using a relay like is in the pre-wired harness. The relay is required to prevent the wiring and on-off switch from overheating and eventually failing due to the heavy amperes drawn by the driving lights.

Here is a wiring diagram that will work but without wiring experience, you're better off just buying the prewired driving light wiring harness. Thank you for the the wiring diagram Jerry. You sir, are in luck. I actually just subscribed to this forum to help you out as I usually frequent another forum. I also see that jerry is over here as well! I just installed a set of these friday so I may be of some assistance.

Tools needed for job: Needle nosed pliers Electrical connectors I. That being said let's break this down and simplify it a little bit. Forget about the numbers of the wires. For all purposes being we will be using color coding. You will notice on your lights themselves they have two wires coming out of the back, one blue, and one black.
