power cord question
Well, your going to have to know something about electrical circuits. Most lights now days draw a lot of current, so to deal with that they use a relay.
It's just too difficult for me to describe how the circuite is layed out over the net. It's one of those things that I could show you how to do it in about 10 minutes if I was there.
Aww hell, let me give it a shot. A "keyed" hot is going to be a wire that has 12V going to it "only" when the key is on. There is many wires coming off of the ign. switch. One or more will be hot when the key is in the on position. You will have to find one of these wires. You can tap into this wire with a 3M wire splice or a 3 way wire splice. This wire will go to your light switch. From the other side of your light switch take this wire to the relay "control" side. Some relays have another conection that you have to ground. Some are grounded so all you have to do is screw them to metal and your done.
Now you take a heavy wire from the battery + side and go to the relay. Then take a heavy wire from the relay to the lights. Then take the other wire from the lights and screw it to any chassie (metal) ground. Your done.
Sounds hard over the net but it's really not. Sorry I could not describe it better, but like I said, really difficult over the net.
If you did not understand what I just typed try and find a friend that knows a little about electrical curcuits and give him this. Good luck and have fun with your new lights.
