Episode Notes
In this episode Chris shows you how to install auxiliary lights from Hella, Inc. USA on a Ford F-150 as well as a Ford F-350 Super Duty pickup truck. Included is an overview of where all the wires go, and the F-150 gets a new light bar on the front to hold Hella’s 500FF and Micro FF lights. The F-350 gets the giant 4000 FF Xenon lamps mounted to its front bumper.
This episode also features Partz, Letterz, and event coverage from the California Jam at the Park car show in Southern California!
Whenever installing off-road lights, be sure to check with your local state laws. Many states require them to be covered, even if they are not in use. Thankfully, all of Hella’s lights come with covers, so use them or replace them if they get lost or stolen.

Could you do an episode on installing electric cutouts? It’s simple enough for everyone to understand and it’s something that’d help out a lot of people.
September 22nd, 2010 at 9:49 am
@wildbloodydragon What kind of cutouts are you asking about? Electric exhaust cutouts?

@dipendraraikut To reduce current draw through the switch. Most switches cannot handle the amount of current required and will melt or short.

I seen you were waving the 3 fingers while you were next to those huge 24″ rims, does that mean those rims are $3,000 each?? I couldn’t figure out what you were lipping lol.

@motorztv I bet it looked like a beast. You should ask him if you can work on it. Maybe paint it blue for your theme? lol

is there really that much load to add a relay?
December 24th, 2010 at 2:36 pm
@01jordanfirst Oh yes. If you don’t add a relay you’ll melt your wires.

Hi there, i would to hook up my lights to my high beams, and also to turn them on manually when i really need them. how do i make this type of connection? Hope you can answer my question thank you!
July 29th, 2011 at 10:51 am
Nice work
January 27th, 2012 at 1:38 am
Hi, I have 900 watts of Halogen and Rigid LED’s equal 20 amps of draw on my truck. Right now I have 200 watts per 30 amp/fuse relay running on 14 guage wire for power and ground. Would increasing that to 40 amp relays and say 6 gauge wire make my lights burn any brighter? I do not have a heat issue, I seem to be getting enough power but was hearing from someone that if I made the wire larger (or just cut the watts on the 14 gauge down to 100 watts each I suppose) that I would get more light.
