So i bought the ebay headlights, the H4 ones and their hella nice and all, but theirs this wire, and i dont know what its supposed to hook up to. Heres the pic:



It's the red wire.

Can someone tell me where it hooks up to, obvisouly the black one is the ground wire.

Are they those H4's with the little blue LED in the housing?

If so; just don't hook it up =p

^ or just hook it up to a switch to 12volts and turn it on if you want to

If they are what I think. In europe, you leave one of those little blue lights on to show what side of the road you are parked on at night. They illuminate just enough for a passerby to see. I have them for my first gen, that is what i was told.

What do they connect to, do u know?

Well considering these lights are not made for car specific and are designed for any car that takes those housings. Since they are trying to replicate the BMW housings I would say that they get hooked up to your marker lights so that the blue light illuminates around the housing with or without the headlights on.

If you want them to always be on with your lights, and not on their own, splice them in to the parking light line. If you want to control them independantly, hook them up to a switch with power coming off of ACC. If you do the switch thing, you'll definately want to fuse them, and maybe use a relay as well to isolate them from everything else on ACC.

another idea would be to splice them into your turn signals
