2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Offroad/driving light switch wiring help....

[96ram]

I have a pair of piaa driving 520's and KC 8 inch rally's that I want to come on with the high beams. Wiring them to the headlamp harness is the obvious choice but I think it would be better to wire them to the wire coming from highbeam switch down the steering column. Anyone know which that is on a 96 like mine?

If I know which wire it is it'll be a breeze but I am doing other work on the truck right now and can't spend the time testing.

It is for use in central america where you need all the light you can get on the roads but I don't want to blind people either so I want them to switch off easily and quickly. I may put in a master switch aswell to turn them on independent of the high beam.

Thats A Hard But I Think I Would Hook Them To The High Beam Switch If It Where Me

Good Luck And Keep At It You'll Get There

Thanks for the words of encouragement. I'm not much of a sparky!

Any ideas what colour wire coming from the high beam switch of how best to wire it to the high beam switch on the steering column??

Problem solved!

OK so it wasn't the blood red with light orange(yellow?) wire but after a lot of calling up baffled service departments and some wire cutting I found it!

Drum roll please... .

It is DARK red with orange.

The wire was so dirty, hidden and the orange so faded I had overlooked it previously but now it works!!
