Do a search in the electrical mods section of the Gen 2 forum. There's some great detailed information in there on the correct color-coded wires to tap into at the headlight socket to have the DL's come on only with your high beams. There's also info in there on how to get wires though the firewall and up under the dash.
I think i am going to just run it through the battery 

I NEED HELP WITH WIRING
There was a problem with the shipment so hopefully ill get it 2mrw as UPS told me i will.
But i still have some question on the wiring.........In the red box that i drew in the pic dose the big black plastic cover thing have to come off? For me to reach the firewall, Blue circles ? Also how am i going wire the switch?

those lights are huge....idk if they're for me... but to each their own...get rid of the covers. do you have headlight covers on there also?
In terms of the wiring it shouldn't be too hard. You have a bosch style relay right?

Yah my dad thought they we too big to but i like them .I might get clear covers or flat black ones but no im not going to leave these ones on . The HL's are smoked with HL tint .
The wireing , i have a relay with 4 wires coming-out
Red to battery
BLACKS to the backs on the driving lights
Yellow to switch
IDK if i am suppost to but i grounded all the blues(coming from the DL's)
They cam with very confusing instructiong because they what me to connect diffrent wires to the headlight so they will turn on together but i dont want to do that i just want to get the switch inside and turn it on whenever i want to .

I really love em they give the MINI a whole different look IMO. I havent wirethem up yet so light wise IDK yet.
the only thing i am scared of is some jackA** might try stealing them and break my grill and takeoff.

The relay connects all the wires together and the ground's are pretty solid. I dont know what i can do to eliminate the need for the green wire that is suppost to go to the headlights then the switch

Thanks, when and where do you want to meet-up?
