Wiring: Yellow wire - Must be spliced to any low beam wire. White wire - Must be spliced to any high beam wire. Black wire - Is ground. Connect to any ground source (i.e. the headlamp housing). Red wire - Is the power supply to the motor and must be connected to a permanent non-switched (always on) power source. Connecting directly to the battery for the passenger side motor is recommended, while the horn relay works well for the driver side motor. A 5 Amp in-line fuse is strongly recommended. Optional: The high and low beam wires can be soldered directly to the high and low beam headlamp lugs. Re-connect the battery and enjoy your hideaway headlights.
