I guess the glare from the sun hit the reflectors and shine in people's faces. i have been pissed for years, these libs here are taking alot of freedoms away,and have been for decades now. I can't fight them without representation, or all I can do is lobby.
I use my lights for off road stictly,when they are hooked up. I have one shining well ahead and into the air for hill climbing, so I can see what's up ahead on the hill about 300 yards in front of me I guess, then I have one directly in front. If I had four lights I would have the others pointed off to the sides , maybe another one pointing out back.

I need some help with my Hella lights too.

I hooked them up per Hella's wiring diagram and have zippo. I want to run them off a switch not the high beams.

Following the included diagram, there is nothing running to a ground on the jeep. The closest thing are the ground wires coming off the lights but there is no metal to metal contact with the jeep.

I have power going into the Bosch relay and nothing coming out.

My hella diagram differs from the one in the post. Mine shows the ground wires off the lights running to #87 on the relay and the power wires going to #86.

Any help is appreciated,
Dave

The relay should have a ground.  Then the lights also should have a ground.  The switch will be connected to +12v.  Like I said before, if you dont' want them controlled by your highbeams just connect it to a +12v source.  You could use a fuse tap off since it's low power.

Some do, mine ground via the mounting bolt instead of a ground wire.
