Rally light help!

Hi all,

I just finished installing my driving lights and I did something wrong, just not sure what. I double checked my wiring but the lights come on when I hit the switch regardless of if the highs are on or not. I'd like it to work as designed and anyone help me figure out what I did?

Also the bulbs that came in them aren't very bright, I'm going to try new bulbs but so far I'm not impressed.

More details would be helpful. I made my own set up. Used 4 driving lights, powered in pairs. (I too changed the 55watt bulbs for 100watts). I hooked them up to two relays and used a jumper from the high beam lights.

It's the factory setup, I think I've figured out what I did. I hooked wire referred to as A11 to connector X14261 when I should have connected it to X14260. I'm willing to bet this will fix the high beam trigger but I'm not optimistic about the brightness of the lights. I'm going to check the wire tomorrow and see if I messed it up.

Regarding the 4 light set-up, what bracket(s) did you use to mount them? Do you have any pics? What year and which grill do you have?

Thanks,
Dave
