Piaa aux light harness install

[danimallv]

I've searched the forums and am still a bit confused.

I have some PIAA 580s that i'm wiring up using there harness. They have a power source wire coming off of their little switch which should activate when the high beams are on.

Is there some wire inside the cab that I can tap into? I've looked at slees documentation and that sounds like I would need to tap in by the high beam bulbs?

And actually I don't really care if the switch works when the low beams are on. Just need to know where to put the tap.

BTW i have a 97 LX

Thanks

I ran 12Volts from the battery to an auxilary fuse block I mounted on the firewall above the brake booster. I run my other toys and auxilary outlets from there as well.

Tail lights

Behind every switch that lights up when you turn the tail lights on you can find the tail light power. Just tap into that wire. Then your IPFs turn off when you turn off the lights on the truck.

I cant remember the color of the wire, perhaps green with grey stripe??

Anyone know if PIAA has their wiring diagrams on the web somewhere? I have an old set of PIAA 90pro dual lights that I would like to re-wire (originally installed by my dealer) but I don't have the diagram and there are a lot of wires that don't make any sense.

I tapped into the light wiring harness right behind the front headlights. I'd have to look to see which color wire tho. 'Legally' according to PIAA's write up instructions, they say to do it this way. Can't turn on the aux lights w/o having headlights on. I think most just wire them directlyl to a power source and skip the part to the headlights.

Cool. I just ended up wiring it to the light source for the ARB compressor switch. Seems to work.. Although the piaa switch when on the lights are red not green.. Maybe thats as designed, but seems like it should be green when turned on. Its green when off.
