Ok, I almost have the hella 500's wired up, everything is connected to the relay and the switch is connected etc. But as I am lacking in even the most basic electrical knowledge, where should I ground the relay and the lights themselves? Can I just put them anywhere on the frame of the car? In other words, I don't want to cause a fire or something so if anyone has some advice on how to do this safely i would appreciate it | ||

Joe, Where is your relay located? D1 or D2? | ||

For the side and back roof lights I ground into the roof rack, but the hellas I run a cable back to the battery ground. The rack has a copper strap bolted to the door jam to ensure a good connection. | ||

If you put the relay in between the firewall and the steering column/fuse box area, take off the panel on the left side of the driver's footwell and ground the relay to the bolt everything else is grounded to. It's a really nice ground. That is for a D1. |
