Please Help with Lights!

[99RamSport360]

I am so lost with trying to wire my offroad lights and where to mount switches and how to make the wiring harness reach from the front grill all the way to my cab, where to go through the fire wall, where to connect to a positive power source? I need pics of where to put wires and switches and what not. Please help?

What brand are you using??

 

[99RamSport360]

They are Hella lights. I am just trying to figure out where to mount wires and switches

Well ive done a couple sets, i cant help you with 1999 specifics like where to go through fire wall,

but you connect the red and the green one to the positive on the battery. is that what your asking?

I am really just looking for 2nd gen specific with pictures of how someone wired theirs. I just am having issues finding a good ground, mounting relays and switches and how to reach with the supplied wires.

I'm not familiar with a Hella wiring harness, but I would assume it to have a relay since it's not Autozone crap.

I would mount the relay on the radiator core support, I utilized one of the mounting bolts and added a little angle bracket from a hardware store for the relay.

For mounting the switch, I went with a 'stealth' approach. I took off the knee panel (right below the steering wheel) and drilled the hole in the flat area that sits around the steering column. If I still had the truck I'd show ya. Anywho, when the lights were on, I could see the LED for the switch enough to know it was on, but not enough to annoy me. It kept the interior looking stock.

The other option is to get factory headlight switch with fog light option, then just use the wire in the fuse box as the 'switch' wire to the relay. Worked great on my '00.

I could really use some pictures of where stuff goes. I am just lost on how to make these connections.

I found a remote switch on amazon for mine. So all I have is a small four button wireless remote. Works good so far.

Could you post some pics of your wiring and what not?

Ran a wire from battery to this

Ran a wire from that into the switch
Ran a wire out to my halos, and also ran a wire to a ground.

do you have pics of all of that installed? I am seriously having issues mounting this stuff and where to run wires.

I ran mine through the grommet in the firewall that the wiring harness goes through. That grommet can be popped out and then feed the wires through there.

Pics?

 

[Bigtman07]

Kind of hard to see in there. I'll do my best to get you a shot.

 

[wermbang]

Yeah no pics here either but I ran them through that same hole

These are what I found The hole is behind the pedals,
