Where connect positive terminal???

[kjh_sweden_H3]

Hi,
Where is the best place to hook up the positive terminal to the driving lights relay? In one of the green circles maybe?? Must be near battery - but I don´t want to connect it right on to batterys terminal...


Anybody knows the best hook-up place??
Thanxx//Johan

Those are the auxilliary power connections. Connect to the terminal on the side opposite the main battery connection, which I think is the terminal on the left in the picture if I remember correctly.

Those circles are on the lugs for the main fuse from the battery to the rest of the truck.. The lug on the left is the battery side, the one on the right is the fused side.

I tied all of my lights in on the rigth side lug...

The right lug in your picture. Of course, make sure you have an inline fuse for protection. I use this for my roof light bar.

Ummm.. What size wire is that..?? I ran a 10awg to the roof to start with for 4 130watt lamps and went back later and split them onto a 2 12awg wires because I was worried the 10 was a overloaded..

I just installed my PIAA 520 ATP's to my brush gaurd and followed the directions from PIAA, which say to hook directly to the battery terminal. Is there a problem with doing it this way? Also Im not sure where I can hook up my switch to power under the dash. Ive gotten it through the firewall, whats the best place to power the switch?

Either place is fine for the main power.. It was just easier to hide the wires going into the fuse box and there was a lug to hook the wire to there.. Not really so in the battery cables (except for the nut you tighten things down with).

How many wires did you run into the cab..?? If two wires then get your power for the switched leg of the relay from the same spot you're getting power for the lights..
