bought some hella 500 driving lights today (1 pair of lights) want to mount them on my front bumper of my stock 98 xj some questions i have are:
1. how do i wire the lights in?
2 how far apart should i put the lights

asking help from someone who has worked with these same lights before tell me what to do this mod woould look pretty sweet on my xj and i cant wait to have these lights on so please help me!!!

 

I just fitted some 500 fogs at the weekend and it does look much better for it. I had factory ones on before hand so just used the factory fog wiring and mounting holes so can't help you much there. But here's a couple of pic to inspire you.

 

Bump. Anybody have like a step by step process how to wire these suckers? Electrical things make my head spin

 

Here is a diagram sorry not in english but I am sure you can figure it out

 

Understand that Spanish? The diagram is good, just needs some English for those of us who are not bilingual.

I would make one suggestion though. I would put a circuit breaker, it is just a little rectangular box with two terminals on it in front of the relay instead of a fuse. That way i you end up with a short it is easier to find. Also a good place to get power on an XJ is off the large terminal on the starter relay on the right fender next to the battery.

 

I dont no any other language but I can understand it.

 

It is a good diagram. I personally don't have any trouble with it even though I don't speak Spanish. But some might. No offense meant.

 

Here's my guess

Luces = Wires
Tierra = Ground
Bateria = Battery
Switch = Switch (deerrrrr)
Rele' = Relay

That diagram helps alot actually

Here is another good diagram I found. Just a universal one

 

all right but luces.... think thats signal from the switch.

 

Luces is lights in spanish, and I'm hopefully gonna be mounting these lights tomorrow I'll post pics if I can
