Driving light question
I am trying to finish the install of my new Hella 500 FF driving lights, and I am gong to tap into the parking lights, but I don't know which wire to tap into. There is a brown wire and a blue one. As soon as I finish this I am done. Any input would help.

RE: Driving light question
I wouldn't do it off the parking lights. Get you a relay and a switch.
I don't know how the pos cops are in your area but if your driving around with "offroad lights" here on all the time they slap you with an excess lighting fine. Its almost to the point we have to have the covers on them while on the street or they try to claim we are running them. My dad got pulled over in his old yota with lights on a roll bar that weren't even hooked up because the cop claimed he saw him flashing them at passing cars.
Too many idiot kids that like to spotlight game at night and bright light passing cars I guess.

use an add a circuit if it doesnt exceed 10amps and your install will be alot easier just crimp your positive into the included splice
