"Hella" Problems Trying To Install Lights

[cabron]

Hello to all. relatively new cruiser owner, 74 FJ40 with a refurbished rhino lined tub from 68, stock. "Hella" problems on getting these 500's to work. Read all searched posts on wiring these, have the green wire spliced into hot fuse instead of headlight wire. Read postings on negative charged systems so upon advice of archived posts took my blue ground into positive lead on battery and still no lights. Am I missing something here? Should the ground on swtich go to something other than a real ground? Any FJ40 owners put these on there and how? All responses appreciated, Brian

I'm getting ready to upgrade to Hella's myself (where did you get yours?) I've researched and found this post handy:

Are you installing relays?

whoops. no cruisers are NOT neg. just the turn signals on fj60 and newer.

So hook it up just like the instruction. Power wire to Pos battery post. ground to Neg post or a good body ground. the wire that is suppose to go to the low beam of the headlight, wire to the pos batery or the low beam or the high beam all depending how you want the lights to turn on
