Hella 700FF Help
I just got some used Hella 700FF's, which came with a toggle switch and about 10 feet of wire. I have been searching all over for a way to hook these things up with no luck. I just want to flip the switch and my lights come on, and I dont want to deal with relays and junk. If anyone can help, that would be awesome
Thanks Guys

100 watts per light
And I have no Idea about the other 2.
I was thinking about hooking the 2 up to the battery, but then I have no idea how to hook it to the switch.

Sorry it's late I meant to post:
Get a 5 prong relay, should have 2 terminals labeled "87" run 1 positive from each terminal to each light.

You're gonna need a relay, too much amperage being drawn by the 100watt bulbs to just use a switch. Wiring a relay into the ckt isn't hard at all. Heres a little diagram that I just drew up that might help.
I'm running a pair of 700FFs on my Dak, they came originally with 55watters in it but I swapped mine out for 100 watters, which is probably what he did also.
Edit: Turbo X_J beat me to the punch while I was drawing up my diagram lol.

Any standard relay you can pick up from an auto parts store that will handle the amps that those lights will draw will work, splurge and get a relay that has a mounting tab built into it or on it so you can more easily/solidly mount it somewhere.
