Need help wiring driving lights !
I did a quick search and was unable to locate an answer. I would like to wire my aftermarket driving lights (Hella) to my high beam switch / stalk. I currently don't have the stock fog lights on my X unlimited so the factory wiring is not there. I just need to know which wire to use from my headlight to trip the relay for the driving lights and if there would be any problems using a headlight high beam wire to trip the relay. Hope that make sence, Thankyou Chris

I don't know which wire to use to trip the relay. However you should still have a switch so that you can use the highbeams without automatically turning on the driving lights.
In that situation, you would use the highbeam wire to power the switch which controls the relay. This still allows your highbeams to turn on/off the driving lights, but it gives you just a little more control over when the lights are on.

If you just want them to come on with your high beams, it's the green and white wire that runs to your headlights. I clamped mine right near the headlight because it was the easiest place to get to that wire.
The hella's should have came with a plastic clamping device. You just clamp the green and white wire and what ever wire from the supplied wiring harness the directions tell you to.
