Hella 500 Fog Lamps
 
I have a 2000 Jeep Wrangler Sahara and i already have the Hella 500 fog
lamps and a switch. I need to know how to wire them to the switch and
what i would need to do that and to protect the rest of the elctronics
in the jeep. I also already have another set of aftermarket fog lamps
that are wired to the rightmost switch in the dash, but i would like
the Hellas wired to the middle switch but still operate like the other
fog lamps.

Install relays to handle the power, just use the interior switches to
trigger the relays.

I got lazy and told my wife to have the Honda dealer put fog lamps on her
CR-V. Writing the check hurt a little, but only a little. What kind of
vehicle are we talking about here? It makes a difference.

You mention you have the lamps and a switch, do you have the relays and
wiring also?

Here are the instructions from their website:
http://www.hella.com/produktion/Hell...F/Inst_450.pdf

I know it says for the 450's but it came from here and said they are the
same:

I don't have any of the wiring or relays because i wasn't sure of what
gauge wire and what type of relays i would need. Thank you all for
your help so far.

I already have an inside switch and it is already mounted, but does not
have the wiring harness it needs to be plugged into it. It is just
sitting in one of the slots not powered or even plugged in.

Re: Hella 500 Fog Lamps
 
Is there power to the switch (just for triggering the relay)?

Do you have any wire or a relay or do we need to make a shopping list?

What do you have in the way of common hand and power tools, soldering iron,
etc.?

Do the lights have their own ground wire or do they ground through the
mount?

Re: Hella 500 Fog Lamps
 
Is there power to the switch (just for triggering the relay)?

Do you have any wire or a relay or do we need to make a shopping list?

What do you have in the way of common hand and power tools, soldering iron,
etc.?

Do the lights have their own ground wire or do they ground through the
mount?

If she pays an experienced auto electrician to do this, she'll never have
cause to regret it. If she gets one of those drive in stereo installers to
do it, well that's just about the worst thing you could ever do. If you
don't have a plug in harness, then you really do need an electrician. Just
my $0.02.
