I'm wiring up my Hella 500 lights. Got everything wired up, except for the supply wire on the switch (green wire). I need a 12v source to tap into.

Also, what did you use as a grounding point for the relay?

The supply voltage wire should be connected to the batt. Didn't the kit come with a relay? If you don't want to drill metal for ground, you can connect the ground to the batt as long as you're going that way.

Using this diagram, says I should tap it into the brights. Yes I am using a relay.

Yup that's what I did. The supply wire still needs to go to the BATT though the high beam is the trigger for the relay.

I would like to be able to use the Hellas without turning on my brights, so I don't want to splice into my headlights. Whats other options are there??

just connect the green wire to the battery also :twisted: so now you can shine them at people who cut you off at the flick of a switch

Success!! Got them wired up and tested them. But, had to take them out because I am waiting for my ARB bumper, plus I haven't grounded my switch yet. Pictures to come sometime next week.
