Hey all. I finished installing Hella 500 driving lights in my wife's 2007 Sequoia this morning, and with the exception of having to relocate the ground wires for the lights, they worked perfectly. They are connected to the high beams. The only problem is that 20 minutes ago (8:30ish pm) she looked out the front door to look at my handiwork, and realized that the lights were on (and glowing through the lens covers).
Needless to say, I was a bit confused, since the keys were in my pocket. I took a look in the cab, no keys in ignition, high beams were off, lights on the column were off, and the Hella switch was off. But they were shining away. I put keys in ignition, switched highs on, Hella switch on and off, and eventually the lights went out.
I'm no electrician, but I know enough, and my next-door neighbor helped me out, and he's an electrical lineman/supervisor for public utilities. I'm pretty confident that the wiring was done correctly.
Any ideas why the lights would be on?
Thanks,
Bigblueq
