Best way to wire Headlights w/ LEDs - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Just bought/installed these headlights with LEDs around the outside from Brothers Truck. Each side of the rows of LEDs has 2 wires, red+ and black-. I would like them to come on and work with my parking lights. What would be the best way to hook these up? Can I tie directing into the the wires running to the parking light or is there a better way? Thanks

Yes. Splice them into your parking lights. They shouldn't draw much.

Hopefully Byrd is still around and he can chime in on this...( he installed mine)...mine are H.E.D and there were relays he used..I am pretty sure they are needed.my concern would be, how much of a draw they have...our style of headlamp switch can take too much of a draw...the relays will aid in this and take the heat away....and if all fails.see what the manufacturer says about it.

Look at Custom Classic Trucks magazine,May 2014 edition. These exact lights were installed in a '68 plus showed how factory turn signals were deleted.
