If I power my hellas through the parking lights will they flash when I lock or unlock it?

 

I'm assuming you are refering to aux driving lights...

You are likely going to cause issues if you add considerable load to that circut. What is your goal?

 

If the source you are hooking into flashes and you try to obtain power for the Hellas from that source flashes then yes, the Hellas will flash.

But I gotta agree with Cthulhu on this. Wire the power and ground for the Hellas by themselves, even though stock Hellas draw relatively low amperage, stock lighting is given just enough wire diameter and fuse for themselves. It's fine to use a relay and "tap" into another source to turn them on/off as this only draws about 1/3 of an amp.

I have a full off-road (or driving light) DIY in the FAQ section, complete with diagrams and wire gauge/relay/fuse sized necessary for aux. lighting...

Ill check that out. I dont want to mess anything up that's for sure. Im kinda thinking it would be best to have these lights all on their own and not tapped into anything. If that makes sense? I just want them for extra lighting when needed. I drive on alot of country back roads and on my property at night

 

I wired my directly to the battery using a high amerage toggle switch to handle the current; otherwise, I would suggest a relay even if wired seperately.
Look through my Hella Install thread for the details and pics.

 

If you wire them into your driving lights, they will come on with the headlights switch, both on driving lights and headlight position. If you wire them into the signal lights (Same place, different wire) they will flash with the remote, but the also will flash with the signals lights themselves.

This works with my LED/Halo headlights, so I assume it will work with your Hellas, but will ad excess amp draw. I'd recommend putting them on their own switch with relays. That's how mine are set up. If you want pics of where the switches/relays are, just ask.

Good luck

Wired my lights up today... Finally... went the stand alone to the battery route. Works great. Thanks for the help guys!
