How to wire hood lights???? Help.

[xBX]

I bought the HIDX lights along with the Outlaw Raptor Hood mounts...

Can anyone point me in the direction of wiring up those guys... Obviously I want to use an AUX light switch.... I know there are some threads here.

I guess its laziness. HAHA.



Thanks

Red to the aux hot.

Black to a good ground location.

Make sure to use an Aux with a high enough amperage fuse and wiring.

What Trey said.

My hood-mounted VisionX 4502s (35 watt) are wired to AUX switch 1, for example.

Thanks... Any more info on this... I don't want to go tampering around and **** something up, so to speak.

You have the 35W HID right which only pulls 3 amps per light, but on start up most take some where around 7 amps to start on for the HID. So I think anything but switch 4 you should be fine with. Switch 1&2 30 amp, 3 is 15 amp, and 4 is 10 amp. I have all 4 of mine hooked up to #1.

Yes, they draw from 3.15-3.30 amps per light.

I'm mobile at the moment so I can't search for it, but use the search feature to look for a thread started by me with the word upfitter in the title. That should help.

Question;
When it says Upfitter Switch info-

#1 Yellow behind glove box – Red under hood – 30 amp
#2 Green with brown stripe behind glove box –Green under hood - 30 amp
#3 Purple with green stripe behind glove box –Blue under hood - 15 amp
#4 Brown (this is the thinnest of the 4 wires) behind glove box – Purple under hood - 10 amp

This means that the YELLOW under the glove box is attached to the RED under the hood and is 30 AMPS.

What do you connect the YELLOW under the glove box to?

I understand you connect your lights up to the RED under the hood....

Also, 8 individual wires?

You have to connect the upfitter wire to the pass through wire (both found behind glovebox). The pass through wire then is found under the hood.
