things you will need a DMM., 3 single pole double throw relays 16 agw wire female spade conectors, solder iron and solder, electrical tape, and (2) 5amp fuses

first locate the headlight wires with DMM. next cut one of the wires in half turn on the headlights and test the wire you cut the 12V side the the swith side and the other is the headlight side. hook up to relay as in diagram. repeat for the other wire

for 12v batt ,with an in line 5 amp fuse use

12volts

pnk/blk (50A), RED / lt blu(40A)

ignition harness

for 12v switched , with an inline 5 amp fuse use

Ignition

dk. blue (16 AWG)

ignition harness

as for the line tied in to the e brake use

Parking Brake

WHITE/ black

CTM, 16 pin plug, pin 8

thi will allow the light to be shut off when the e break is on

ground, some metal in the driver kick panel will do
