R56 Getting Hella 500's install hard? Pics?
Two things you need to do.
First, the green wire you have going to your battery, should be going to your fuse box. So you are able to only turn the lights on when your ingition is on.
Second, if I remeber correctly, the wires on your swtich are in the wrong order.
Blue wire first, goes to ground.
Green wire second, hot wire to your fuse box.
Yellow for the bottom one, goes to your relay switch.

Where exactly in the fuse-box dose the GREEN wire go?
( i am going to be working on it 2mrw (2 day))
BTW: Where do they usually ground the ground's? I screwed the ground wires that come from the light between the screws on the light ,Is that ok? And the rest i just bolted on the metal screws next to the HL's (c pic).
Thanks

You can ground the wires the way you have it. As far as the green wire, you can leave it there until you get it working, once everything is in working condition then you can find a fuse slot that turns on when your ignition is turned on. Switch the orders of the wires like I told you to on the switch and see if the lights turn on.
Thank You SOOO Much!


I got them on !It was from the ground and u were right the wires were backwards . Now i just need to get the switch inside , how can i do that ?

I was searching for help getting mine installed. No dice yet. But your pictures were just triggering that itch in my brain to make a smartass comment

I wish Hella made their black magic lights in a 4-5" size b/c I can't fathom putting 8.5" lights on the Mini.
This just doesn't look right (to me).
