Hey everyone, its been a while since I have had a chance to get on and see what everyone is doing. I am currently having a little bit of a problem. I installed four hella 500's including two other 55 watt lights and two 100 watt lights. I had wired up the two 100 watt lights a while back and didnt have any problem but when I ordered my hellas, the wiring seemed backwards. I am wanting to power six of the lights using my high beam switch and Im planning on using a relay to trip the other relays for these ligths. I just want the two 55 watt lights to come on with my headlights. I have done a lot of research when it comes to relays and to tell you the truth this is frusterating..

I have seen these scymatics for relays will they both work or has hella sent me the wrong harness.

30 power
85 ground
86 to switch
87 power to lights

30 power
85 to switch
86 ground
87 power to lights

 

Use the second group, with 30 power and 86 to ground. That is the most common for fog lamps and accessories.

That is as clear and simple a picture I've ever seen. Hope that is what you were looking for.

 

Either way will work.

Pin 85 and 86 trigger the relay so they are not dedicated to ground or power. You can use either or for a ground or for power. Pin 30 is normally used as the 12v power source. Pin 87 is used to send current to the accessory.

 

Thanks yall, going to finish it today as long as the weather holds up...
will have pics up when finished.
