okay, well i wired up my hella 500s to my stock bumper on my 01 XJ today. i took the bumper off and put the 4 hella 500's on. it came out pretty clean and only ran in to one problem.... when i connected power to the battery 2 lights came on with the switches off !, then i turned both the switches on and those shut off and turn the opposite ones on.. so im confused because normally im pretty good with wiring and electronics. but anyway heres how i wired them
4 hella 500s at the bumper. all 4 are grounded to the bracket that bolts the bumper to the frame and are good grounds. then the 4 other wires from the 4 lights go to 2 relays mounted next to each other on the fire wall. 2 wires from 2 lights go to pin 87 and 87a, and the other 2 from the remaining lights go to pin 87 and 87a on relay number 2. then pin 30 on both relays are connected to 12volt at the battery with a 20 amp fuse in each wire. both pin 86 on the relays have a seperate ground. and pin 85 on each relay has a seperate wire leading to 2 switches on the dash. the other wire coming out of each switch is tapped into 12v constant from the OBD2 connection.
my question is what did i mess up. i just want 2 lights on 1 switch. so that i can turn all 4 on with 2 switches. any advice ?
thanks
