Default Installed Hella 500's with a Little Something Different

OK guys, there has been a lot of threads about installing the Hella 500’s lately and I am joining in. I ordered them this weekend off of eBay and they were here by Wednesday. When I installed them tonight I did a little something different with the wiring just to change it up. There is a pic below so you can see what they look like installed. Check out this link and see a video clip what I came up with to change it up a little.

Thanks man, I just wanted to try to change it up a little so I messed with the wiring to get them to flash with my alarm.

I have the switch mounted down by where the handle for popping the hood is located. I wanted to put it somewhere that it couldn't be seen and I could still reach it easily.

Instructions, now! I'd like to know how to do that. However, I don't want to do that with these ones so I don't ruin my ballasts.
But the Hella's look really awesome, one of the best mods you can do.

It isn't that hard to do, I will write up some instructions and get a pic of the wiring tomorrow but basically all you need is one additional wire from what comes with the kit.

I like the way that looks. Am considering the same for my truck. Just unfortunately not yet at the top of the list.
