PIAA Pro 80 XT, Which wire goes where?

Gofast · 01-03-2004, 11:21 AM

OK, Thanks to the group purchase many years ago, I have a nice set of lights to mount on my ride.

The problem is I don't have the wiring instructions.

The Huge White Wire is most likely = Battery / Hot

The Huge Black Wire is most likely = Ground

There are 2 small wires, 1 White, 1 Black with the round bullet type plugs on them. Where do they go?

There is also another small white wire that comes off the toggle switch. Is this a hot or a ground?

I'm lost with the little wires right now. Not really sure where they are supposed to go.

Any help would be great.

Thanks Rob

Lets see here

Huge white wire goes to battery
Huge black is ground
As for the two small wires with plugs on them they should go to the fog lights ( I need more info on them though to be positive)
Small white wire off toggle switch goes to acc power.

Comming off the switch are three wires. Blk.=Ground.
Wht. W/plain or cut end=switch power. Bullet end= to relay.
There may be some info on the www.piaa.com site also.

I have looked at PIAA site a couple of days ago. They said they would fax me the wiring diagram, but nothing has showed up.

The ligths plug into a wiring harness. So there is nothing to run there.

The big wires make since and so does the wire coming off the toggle switch.

I'm still at a loss of what the other 2 small wires are for. One is white and one is black. They are part of the wiring harness kit, but I have no idea of what there purpose is.

Thanks Rob

Where are these wires coming from and what connectors do they have again?

The wire that goes to the relay from the switch may have bullets on both ends which plug into recepters comming out of the relay & switch wire.
The relay is also grounded by a short black wire that usually I ground at the same screw I use to mount the relay.
Look at this diagram and fit your pieces to fit theirs.

Only difference is that your fuse is in the relay and your switch is also grounded by the black wire .
