Hella 500 Wiring Issue??

[TheRedDawn]

I posted this over in the "equipment for sale" forum under the hella 500 thread, but thought it might be more suited for over here.

--------------------

I just completed my wiring and no light. I'm hoping someone can shed a little light on my situation. Let me summarize what i've done, (I believe I have followed the directions but???)

2003 Tacoma DC.

I'll summarize by wire:
Relay wires:
Blue - Grounded
Black - Runs to Hella 500's
Red - Runs to Battery
Yellow - Runs to Switch

Switch:
Yellow - Recieved from Relay
Green - Runs to hi beam wire on passenger side, (Wire tested with voltage meter. Showed voltage only when Hi Beam was on)
Blue - Gounded to seat bolt, (just until I mount the switch)

Hella 500's
Grey - Grounded to brush guard
Black - Received from relay

Other info:
1 - the directions show 2 ways to wire the switch
A - Yellow, Green, Blue, (top to bottom) on diagram on top
B - Green, Yellow, Blue, (top to bottom) on lower 2 diagrams.
2 - The indicator light on the switch does not illuminate on when lights are on hi or low.
3 - I am assuming that the switch bottom has the indicator light???

I have a voltage indicator, but not sure what should have voltage, (I really know nothing as far as electricity goes).

Any advice/suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

The indicator lamp on the light switch should be on the upper half of the switch and glow when there is power to the lights.

I didn't save the instructions that came with my lights. Good on ya for noticing the discrepancy. Everything else in your description sounds like what I remember.

I think your leads into the switch are swapped around.
