Putting Hella 500ff behind the grill
#29
I just finished the wiring...
I connected it all before the actual routing of the wires and it worked. THEN I routed the wires... but stupid me routed the battery side first and THEN the switch. wires. It blew the first fuse in the hella wiring. I had to remove the 20A fuse in my cigarette plug adapter and put it where the 2A fuse went... JUST TO SEE THE FINISHED PRODUCT. GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR...............
I gotta go to the parts store tomorrow and buy a 2A fuse first thing in the morning...
...but I'm psyched that I aimed them PERFECTLY during the install. When I put the grill back on two nights ago, I didn't think about the fact that I'd have to re-aim them if they weren't right. *PHEW*
Pics soon.

UPDATE:
I went to change the switch to another one that looked/functioned better.... but when I was moving the wires around, I accidentally touched the constant hot wire that connects to the switch to a ground and it blew the fuse.
I opened the hood and checked the one fuse for the hella wiring harness and all the fuses in the cab next to the driver's door. Nothing.
After re-reading this thread, I noticed that there might be TWO fuses in the wiring harness:
Can anyone refresh my memory on where the freakin' second fuse is located? lol
