Installed my new Baja 6" 100watt lights. I have a relay to put them on but it may be awhile before I figure out how to wire it in.

I *THINK* I have an idea...

Have a look at the pix see if that helps you. It is a neg switched way to do relays much safer and much ezer that means neg is used at the switch not positive to control the relay on/off. Use one relay per light.

So where it say's new low and new high make these into new light one relay per light, 87 out to new light.

87 new light out 12V
30 12v fuzed supply from batt positive.
85 switch neg goes into the cab, to the one side of a switch, other side of the switch goes to ground.
86 ground to chassis

if you got to go to the parts store you may want to buy yourself a stud type circuit breaker with the right amperage rating instead of a fuse. then you should never have to worry about blowing a fuse.

Finished up puttin on new front hub bearings and u joints...both were still from factory. Surprisingly, the hubs came out without needing too much "encouragement"...odd thing tho, once i was done installing and fired it up, the abs and red "brake" lights were both on. Have no idea why since there arent any sensors on the front hubs, maybe just another weird thing the 2nd gen computers do. I just yanked the neg. terminal, turned the headlights on, and did the magic dance to the dodge gods and they went out. strange.

why bother with 100w lights?

get 35w HID's....even brighter than 100w lights, and far less heat output and power draw.

they are ridiculously cheap these days...

nice and blinding too lol..

Haven't had a chance to do a "proper" test drive, short drive was good.
