I purchased a pair of westin off road light and I am currently trying to install them. I understand the wiring process until it ask me to connect to wire of parking lamp. I am unsure where to find this wire and what core it is, I am having trouble understanding the wiring diagrams. I have a 2005 xlt f150, any help would be great thanks alot.

 

im assuming you are going to wire them with a switch? However, there are several possibilities rather than just having an "on/off" switch. My off road lights are rigged so that I can either have them "off" "on when i turn the fogs on" or "on when i turn the high beams on"

 

Also which wire are they asking you to hook to the parking lamp? Almost sounds like they are running the wires so that the lights only come on when you are in park....

 

I would like them wired so they automatically turn on with my low beams. The way the diagram has it setup they can be turned on or off when the lights are on. So i looking for the wire which allows me to wire them so they turn on with my low beams.

 

what i meant is i want to have the same setup as yours. How did you do yours?

 

if you have factory fogs and you have an extra set to turn on with your low beams then you could get a ticket. you can only have four lights on the front of a vehicle in most states, hence your factory fogs cutting off when you turn on your high beams.

but to wire it just find the lowbeam power wire and splice into it.

 

i realize that I don't have factory fog so I would be ok installing them with my low beams. So i am trying to find the lowbeam power wire I am not sure where to look or what color it is.

 

They are telling you to wire to your parking lights so that you can't leave them on by accident. When you turn off your parking lights the offroad lights will go off as well. Then you have a switch in the cab so that they can be on/off when you want

 

ok so where do i find the parking lights wire and what color is it?
