    Auxiliary light wiring question

    I purchased a dual output relay, new wire and used a 20A fuse in a new 10g fuse holder for power from battery to relay. I also ran each light ground back to the battery and tapped one for the switch ground and the relay ground, I used one posi lock for the fuse holder to relay and and one posi...

    Auxiliary light wiring question

    I thought of soldering, the harness came soldered from Hella. I was under the impression that soldering wasn't great for automotive applications, at least in the engine bay, due to constant vibrations and high heat. I'm interested in a 5 pin dual output relay setup as that seems like it would...

    Auxiliary light wiring question

    Would a dual output relay be even better? Each light would get its own power wire and each ground could just run straight back to battery. The way it was wired when I got the harness had one ground coming from each light spliced into 3 grounds. So 2 wires to 3. Of those 3, one went straight to...

    Auxiliary light wiring question

    If I understand what you mean by F... I should run a 12g wire straight from the relay output to a light, maybe the furthest one, and also tap into it with a posi tap to power the other light? Same configuration for the ground?

    Auxiliary light wiring question

    Thanks for the input again. A picture would be great! Here is a picture of the lights connector I made. The 16g is very short, I brought the 12g all the way to it. https://photos.app.goo.gl/Ydte2qba9a7V2owd7 I couldn't seem to upload the photo so I linked it. I hope it works!

    Auxiliary light wiring question

    I've run into an issue that has made me question the harness I've made. I'm seeing about .6V of drop on the power side and .2V on the ground. The bulbs are bipin and I've never used that type before. I bought a Hella harness (87199) and replaced the 16g wire with 12g. Battery to relay (15A...

    Auxiliary light wiring question

    I ordered both types of connectors. I went ahead and mocked up the wiring to first find which wire is power and which is ground, coming from the light housing. And to check voltage drop with my current harness and the 8 or so inches of 16g connected together. I read .27V at each light.

    Auxiliary light wiring question

    I found some step down butt connectors from anchor. They state they accommodate 12-10 to 16-14 wire connections. They're insulated and have adhesive shrink.

    Auxiliary light wiring question

    Got it. I read your recommendation for the posi tap connectors,and I've used them before, however, I'm going to be putting split loom around the exposed wires and connections (other than the weather pack connectors of course). The wires from and near the lights live in a harsh environment being...

    Auxiliary light wiring question

    Thank you for the reply. They're Lightforce 240 Blitz lights, with the bulb that came with it. I believe they're the same as a Philips 7724, but not sure. I've looked around to narrow down a cheaper and maybe better replacement since theirs are about $8 each. The 16g run will be about 1ft each...

    Auxiliary light wiring question

    I just purchased 2 new auxiliary lights for my vehicle. They're 100w each. The wiring harness I have in the truck for my previous lights is 12g from battery to light, power and ground. I'm stumped because the new lights are wired in 16g. They're a bipin type of bulb. Will I be ok to add a...

    Rooftop light wiring help?

    I finished the install. The Hella harness is great! I hooked it up by swapping the power and grounds on the battery and when I hooked the battery back up the lights stayed on when the headlights were off and they went off when I turned the headlights on. I tapped the green and black wire on...
