[QUOTE="Stoopid Jeep, post: 433453, member: 20049"] Yes, that is the correct wire to change. (the control voltage coming from the headlight circuit) There are a few ways to wire it. You could also wire it [switched] from the ignition circuit, so it kills the lights with the ignition switch. (IMHO) A better way is to; Hook the control voltage up to either [COLOR=rgb(209, 72, 65)][SIZE=6]+[/SIZE][/COLOR] or [COLOR=rgb(209, 72, 65)][SIZE=5]ign[/SIZE][/COLOR] [[I]unswitched[/I]] then run the [B]ground[/B] wire under the dash and [switch] the ground. (on the control side of the relay, not the load). Switched grounds are safer and cleaner to run. If the circuit shorts out, the lights just turn on. no damage done. Good luck [ATTACH type="full" alt="ground rtigger.jpg"]119153[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
