I'm havin' trouble with the Hellas.

Two lights, let's say A and B, both grounded to the same point. Only A works. Ground to different points, only A works. Only A grounded, only A works (makes sense). Only B grounded, both work but are very dim. What gives?

Obviously I know nothing about wiring or electricity so any help is appreciated.

Discvered the problem. I wired one light while my roommate wired the other. Somehow when he was doing his and i was setting up the switch and relay, he managed to set them up to run in series. What a @#*! mess. So I'm rewiring the whole thing tomorrow after work.

Glad you got it figured out.

I just put a set of the 500's on my 4Runner. I upgraded the bulbs from the 55W to 100W and I have been really impressed with them.
