H4 headlights...

Ok, I got my H4 headlights from Ebay, without any instructions, so here's what I'm asking: I can figure out how to hook them up and install them, but they have this "city light" bulb with some extra wiring that I'm not sure of. Can anyone give me a picture or description of how these "City lights" are to be hooked up?? Basicaly, it's the lights BELOW the main H4 lights in the light fixture...

Thanks

Carl

Dont' hook them up. They are optional.

You can spice the wire into the power wire for your front side markers which will make them turn on with your running lights. Or you can wire in a switch to give them power whenever you want them on.

yep, i spliced them into my running lights. Worked pretty well... I didn't really see a need for setting up a switch and all, b/c to me they don't justify the time, for as little as they do. Nice little 30$ upgrade.. you're getting ready to put on some Headlight covers, eh?

Yeah, I'm ordering some tinted covers tomorrow probably. Just wondering about the city lights. So I suppose it would be red to hot and black to ground, eh??

Thanks...
