Help with Wiring 6" lights
Hey guys, I just got a set of 6" driving lights from ebay. I mounted them to my Aries Bull bar. I used the wiring harness they sent with the lights.Wiring Harness
Okay my question is, How could i hook up the lights so they they turn on/off with the key. I have heard run the power from the switch to the radio wire. Which wire is this? I've heard of people talk about using an Add a Fuse or something like that... does the cover fit back on afterwards?
Or I would like to remove the switch and just have them hooked up so they come on with the lights. So that they will run with the hi and lo beams... Which wire would this be, and best place to get ahold of that wire.
thanks guys

Don't know if you want to do this, but the brown wire on the back of the main headlamp switch is the parking lamps.
If you use this to the switch, then to the relay coil, the lamps could only be on with the parking lamps on.

Where is the main headlamp switch? Is that just the **** in the truck by driver side door?
So i would run a wire from the brown to the positive on the switch, then run a wire from the brown to the relay? and if thats true, Does that brown to the relay take the spot of the 12v source?
Or is there a way to run that and eliminate the switch? Right now the switch has a ground, line to hook to the power, and a line to the relay.

Here is a simple diagram to a generic Auto relay.
The switch you have installed, has a ground for it to be illuminated ( not shown in this drawing ).
