Got my headlights!

[txbass06]

the switch i have says for 12V and 30A.

I am running mine off a 10 amp fuse.

I'd do what Luke did and stick a 10 amp fuse in there and call it done

This is what I am using for my fuses. holds 6

and they will eventually all hook to this

very cool! ill head over to radio shack tomorrow and take a look at what they got.

I'm running a 5amp fuse for all of my halos. Red, red backlighting, and white halos too.

Headlights look great! And as said, they look solid black when off, it's cool!

I also jumped power from the cigarette lighter. Just if you were looking for a place to do that from.

I got mine from the auto parts store. They should also have inline fuses

these are what I used to have

i already have my guage wired up to that, dont want to put too much stress on that. im just going straight to the battery this time.

and i like how it looks solid black too. and then once your up close you can see that the shroud is silver and black. JJ did a great job!

Haha. I figure none of those components, LED headlights, and backlighting gauges isnt pulling too much strain. I wish I could take anything I have running off the battery and get rid of it. Don't like the look of it.

i have couple of things on the battery, but ive also been able to plug it into the fuse box where it connects to the battery. i just hate having to get wireing into the cab from outside. i can never find a good spot to feed it into the cab.

 

[rennaissanceman]

so, why do you need to hook all this kind of stuff up to a fuse anyway?

to protect the lights incase of like a power surge or somthing, the fuse will break and wont allow that surge to get to your lights and possible break them.

 

[BlackedOutHemi]

Or cause the wires to burn up and smoke really bad and possibly start a fire. Lol. Those aren't good! I had the smoke thing happen when I first wired my halos.

 

[rennaissanceman]

Ahhh, good to know.

 

[05singlecabHEMI]

So ran into a little hiccup. After wiring up the CCFLs i noticed the passenger side didnt light up. Me and JJ tried to switch things up but nothing. So i had to send the headlight back to JJ today. No biggy JJs gonna make it all better! Haha. I also aimed them a little bit too high and it was shinning in peoples windows lastnight... Ooops! So im riding around with Halogen bulbs for a while.

Thanks dude! And you wouldnt by anychance have some spare pins to lock the rubber seal would ya? When i was switching them out this morning i forgot to remove them from the engine bay, got home and they were gone LOL. Well all but one. Dont know how that stayed.

 

[0212353]

you mean the little christmas tree things? Thats about the only thing I don't have here dude!

 

[05singlecabHEMI]

Its fine, i just realized i can use the ones on my stock headlights those will work perfectly.
