Just go some Piaa 520 lights need help in hooking them up??

[gkatmar]

I bought a used set of Piaa 520 driving lights on Ebay and they didn't come with directions. Can anyone help me with the wiring? Thanks

Ok so I looked over everything and there is a black wire with a ring terminal that I assume is the ground. There is also a white wire with a ring terminal that I assume goes to the battery for 12v constant power. Then there is a white wire with nothing on the end that comes off the relay, what is this used for?

that wire is suppsed to connect to the switch that comes with the kit. its cut so you can run it into the cab with ease.

Have you checked out Iron Clad Lou's Revised Wiring Diagram post? He did a great job sketching out diagrams for the 3rd gen, 4th gen, and factory Hella switch wiring options.

If you're just looking for wiring info in general I have a post covering wiring practices in the Accessories forum.

Good luck.

Ya I have checked those out, thanks.

I don't really care to wire the lights to the parking lights. I just don't know what this white wire is for?

I'm pretty sure the black wire is the ground and the white wire with the ring terminal goes to the battery. But there is anothe smaller white wire that comes off the plug that plugs into the light switch. What is that used for?

I installed some 540's a while ago. Here is the diagram that came with mine. I don't know if they are wired the same but maybe this will help...

Thanks so much, I thought it was switched power. Thanks again everyone this forum rocks. Here's to all you. :beer:

How are you mounting them or onto what are you mounting them on ?????

Don't know all the acc. you have on your truck.

It would be nice to get a Tacoma fog light switch and hook them up to there. It would keep it looking pretty factory on the inside.

I am hooking them up to a Westing Grill Guard. Ya I will probably be purchasing a Tacoma swithch real soon. I will post some pics of the install next week sometime.
