anyone know how to wire ANZO lights on 06

hey guys i just got a set of anzo projector headlights and i dont know where to splice the power wires for the LEDs to the stock parking light wiring... it seems like anything you try to splice shuts off the parking lights, i hate this stupid new coputerized lighting... #@$%!

I don't know anything specific about the aux lighting you asked about but in general, you absolutely don't want to cut and splice to existing factory lighting wiring or tie into it either.

OEM wiring won't be able to provide adequate current to power the aux lights and will set codes and probably continue to blow fuses or breakers.

You'll have to run a separate heavy gauge wire direct from a power source like a new Painless Wiring Fuse Block or direct from a positive post on one of the batteries, through a 30 amp breaker, to a 30 amp or similar relay of adequate size to power the lights. Then, from a low current supply you can route a wire through a switch near the driver then to the control or switch side of the relay then to the lights. Mount the relay under the hood not too far from the battery(s) and use a large gauge wire from power source to lamps via relay.

thanks, do you know if i can switch a relay with the parking light power wire? or will that trip a code as well, there must be a way to do this or they wouldnt sell this stuff.

follow HBarlow's advice connecting into existing wiring on the pre 2009 can cost you a new computer



i purchased a kit to run from the battery through it's own relay. a 30amp circuit.

i cant believe that the factory wiring cant power 4 little LEDs, the big lights are plug and play and work perfect but i guess for the computer to know if you have a bad parking light the resistance cant be changed at all. im gonna yell at somebody on Monday :-{} haha thanks guys.

OEM wiring is not designed to carry the added current required for aux lighting and the electrical subsystem of new Rams in '06 and beyond is monitored by the PCM to give us lights out warnings in the instrument panel. Almost any alteration you do will be detected by the PCM as a problem and, if current draw is excessive or a short or sparking occurs, can wipe out the computer as stated above.

Contact Geno's Garage for a new Painless Wiring board and install it properly. It will provide for any accessory you want to add.
