Need help wiring 1 micro de xenon driving light onto a 1100gs

rob_yorky · Mar 1, 2007

I've just bought 1 used micro de xenon driving light that came with mounting bracket, ballast, bit of wiring (light to ballast & blue/brown wiring from ballast). I don't have much electrical experience but want to fit this all myself so if anyone can help me out it would be appreciated.

I've had a look through the forums already for tips and have found out a little but most installations are for 2 lights & autoswitch type installs.

I'm looking to use a piaa switch instead - http://www.nippynormans.com/prodinfo.asp?number=PIA-74034&variation=&aitem=1&mitem=6

Now what kind of relay do I need - I'm assuming 30amp, 4 or 5 poles? Any of these any good?

Any of those relays will do it, 4 or 5 pin. Stick to one of the top three types on the left of your first link. If you get a 5 pin one just leave terminal 87a empty.
