Hella 500 Wiring
Could anyone tell me how to hook up the relay to get them to turn on with the high beam only without any other switch?
I opened everything up, but I had to give up and put it all back together again because I couldn't find the wire to splice it into.
It says "Connect to high-beam wire", but I have no idea which one is the high beam wire.
They're all black and the only difference is the "A" "B" and "C" markings.
Could anyone post how they have their Hella 500s wired up? Pictures would be helpful, and please please please R56 only. I've looked through the R50/R53 threads and they seem to be too different to help.

Autozone's have these for about 6 bucks. Works great, my tool box has always had one for last 25 years, or sometimes I have had to just make my own with a turn signal bulb and some wire.
To circumvent the switch, I think you only have to put a jumper wire as in diagram ? The only problem is that they will always come on with high beams - so you will not be able to use the lens covers that came with the lights.
Basically the power from the HD lights closes the circut of the relay, not the aux lights themselves.

+1, I was looking to help you out, but the R56 where to tap is the one part about this that I'm unsure of, but is critical for installing any aftermarket driving lights. If you still don't know there is one R56 thread on here and one other website that I might be able to go dig up an answer for for you.

Well, I'm up at college and I won't be able to work on it until Saturday probably.
edit: My dad's been helping me as well, but he's back at home and I won't be home until Friday evening, hence the Saturday thing. Any extra help in the meantime would be very much appreciated though.

I found the original MINI R56 retrofit instructions
Which seem to talk about a yellow/blue wire (yellow w/ blue stripe) but am as of yet unable to find the wire you are looking for
