I want to wire these up (as I have no pre-done harness) and have them connected to either the ignition or parking light through a relay.
I don't know which I should do, or what would be easiest. Tapping into a wire that is hot only when the ignition is on or one that is controlled by the parking light.
Just so I can't leave them on all night.
I know Taxxman did something like this but he had the factory relay to use, which I don't.
IN a 95 Explorer you can tap into a acc power feed wire under your hood, in that big black power distribution box.
I have my PIAA's wired so I cannot leave them on, they go off withthe truck. It is fairly simple, you just have to locate the proper wire in that box. First take the box off it's mount, and then open it up (it's easy) Any red wire under there will work for your switched power wire (not for your power feed but for the relay/switch power)
rig up a relay using the side marker light... i did... it only works with the parking lights and headlights...you will need the 12v + from the marker light as a constnat power wore, but will need to use it a switched power...let the relay run the lights and the parking light tap run the relay...
Any wire Inside the box. Do I just splice into it and volia. Also I am probably going to have to get the relay at Radio Shack...Say in the future I want to run 100W bulbs rather than the 55W currently.
