I am actually looking to hook up two wires (black and red) I dont see anywhere to hook them in the relay box but I might be missing something. Where to the lights get power from?

Do you know which one it is?? The directions say this: ground black wire to chassis body, connect red wire to a power source with a control switch (EX: parking light, head light, etc.) If you can help with that it would be great but since its not a regualr land rover thing you may not know!! THANKS

How many amps will "it" pull? You may need to put a bigger fuse on the circut you choose.

You can connect the black to just about anything metal, do you have a test light or guage you can use to find the power source? Get a friend to turn the switch you want to use on and off until you find the appropriate connection. You can also listen to/touch the relays while they're switching and that will tell you which relay.

Ok thanks, I will do that. I am putting on white LED windsheild Sprayers so its not something that is going to pull many amps. I saw them on a disco the other day and it just looked so cool, so I had to buy some for mine! I just figured it would be easy to hook the wires up somewhere but everything is harder to find than I thought. Thanks for the help!

Are you serious? White LED winshield washer nozzles? I hope they catch on fire.

ok, now I see why you didn't say right off what you were installing....

Tap into the parking lights wire. You may have to add wire and hook in by the headlights, but then just tuck it into a nearby loom.

I don't hope they catch fire, but......[sm=youreright.gif]

Good Luck

At the rate we are going, they probably will. But seriously they actually look really fantastic when they work, but I dont understand what everyone is saying to do. Sorry.
