I need it. Bad. I got a pair of Hella 500FF driving lights mounted to my car the other day, and I'm having some serious issues getting them to work.
I grounded the switch, relay, both lights; connected the hellas and ran that wire back to the relay, ran a wire relay to the switch, ran another wire from the relay to the battery, and ran a wire to my stereo power source instead of my high beams so I could use the hellas whenever the radio was on, instead of having to have my high beams on.
I did all that, like the diagram pictured below said, and no lights.
Someone on another forum suggested instead of grounding the relay to a ground on the body, to run that wire to the negative terminal of the battery. I did that and no lights, BUT my switch now lights up when the lights are off, even when my freaking keys are out of the ignition.
If I had the money, I would pay someone to fix this in a heartbeat. I don't... so I have resorted to the internet
If anyone can lead me in the right direction I would greatly appreciate it.
Here is the diagram that came with the lights that I have pretty much stuck to:
