Add your "lighting" links here so we can get a nice FAQ going for all kinds of lighting...even if it is a link to something here on Yotatech...or otherwise.

Brian,

I'm going to add my Hella 500 driving lights writeup since you mentioned that you want all kinds of lighting options

Thanks guys. One "centralized" place to send folks for "general" lighting questions (FAQ) or a place that they can find easily on a search will be beneficial for us all I think.

just a tip, you can run the wire from the middle pin on the switch to one of your head light fuses in the fuse box under the hood. its easy, protected from water, still functions correctly(LED in the switch lights up when you turn your headlights on, the lights turn on when you flick the switch etc.) also, the hella 500 wiring diagram doesnt show a ground from the switch, you need this is you want the switch to light up.

Switch:
earth ]-ground wire
load ]]-wire to head light fuse
load ]-wire to relay
