I just bought the PIAA 520 Series lights. I too am going to try to avoid splicing into the OEM wiring, but have one loose wire that has to be put somewhere. It came with a adapter that clamps on to a OEM wire splicing the two together. I assume this is for the switch like in your case. Would it be a safe bet that it would work if spliced with the passenger parking light?

yes that one loose wire is the trigger wire, it lets you use the lights whenever that wire gets power so if you want to be able to run them when the parking lights are on then just attach it to the brown wire for the parking lights. that's the one i chose since i'll only be using mine at night anyway.

I've got an 02 screw 4x4 with the 5.4 and have recently built a bedcage/rollbar and installed some off road lights up top for that extra edge during night time excursions....I'm having trouble finding a spot to run the wires in to my switches though and can't find any info on wiring for my year/model. Any help? I've got to get my power wires in from the battery as well as the wires from all four lights. I've already mounted my switches on the interior fusebox cover so coming in through the driver's side is preferred. Thanks in advance!!

I always ran the wire through the space in the fender and through the door. Well time to rewire mine!

I am thinking of buying and installing a pair of the PIAA 525's. Need advice for a mounting location on my Ranchhand cattle guard. I'm thinking of mounting them directly below the mesh part (I'd have to mount them upside down) in the middle. What do you think?
