View Full Version : Basic car wiring for the electrically inept
Right Ive got a light I wish to wire into the headlight switch.
The light has 2 wires to it, the question is 'how'?:)

do you want it to just come on when you switch your headlights on, cos i can tell you how to wire it into say your rear light so it does just that

if you have the switch with you now, look for a GREY AND RED wire, or a GREY AND BLACK WIRE. either of these will be a switched positive for your headlights... then just wire red wire on new light to this and black wire on new light to earth... or on the switch the BROWN wire
GOODLUCK

Back on topic :lol:
You're best off grabbing the multi-meter and bell out the wires behind the light switch to find the lighting feed. I'd go do it for you but the battery on mine is so flat it wont charge anymore :(
