I am wiring in some Hellas. What is a good power source I can tap in to. I want to be able to turn them off and on independantly only when my head lights are on. Is this possible? If so, a wiring diagram or description would be very much appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Wiring lights isn't that bad...I haven't done anything from the front of the truck yet...but it's all about the same

My thought would be this...run the power wire to the battery and be done with that...

next would be run the ground from the lights together, and then run it to where ever the switch is gonna be and then run out from the switch and ground it...

I wouldn't suggest trying wire it in conjunction with the headlights or anything like that, just use a simple switch and turn them on or off when ever you want

use this to wire them up to turn them on when you like http://www.4runners.org/image/hella500/hella_500_auxfusebox.jpg
take that green wire and run it back to the battery useing a inline fuse as close to the battery as possible

couldn't I run that green wire to another 12v source? Like my cig. lighter or something? http://www.4runners.org/image/hella5...auxfusebox.jpg

FYI, You definitely want to use a relay. Having that much current flowing through a switch when the lights are on is a fire waiting to happen.
