I'm new to wiring and feel silly that I don't understand the illustration that came with the Hella Optilux kits (4" light HID 6000kv) that I got from ORW. I understand everthing except for the white wire. The illustration shows it coming from the switch and then nowhere. There is no connector on the end of the wire opposite of the switch connection. The instructions is just the illustration with no text ,which everthing else is self explanitory.

From the Relay:
Black 86 to ground
Red 87 to lights
Blue 30 through fuse to battery
Green 85 to switch center post

Switch:
Black from switch top post to ground
Green from center post to Relay 85
White from bottom switch to ????

I also will be replacing the Optilux switch with a Rugged Ridge Toggle Switch. Looks like the Optilux switch is the same style as the RR switch, 3 posts.

I'd like to have the switch illuminate with the dash lights but don't want to splice into factory wiring under the dash. If I could accomplish the same result by tapping into the fuse box some way, I wouldn't mind doing that.

So where should the white wire from the switch connect to? Will I need to solder a connector to the end of the white wire for it to connect properly?

Thanks!

 

White should be power in, from an ignition controlled source. When the switch is on the power will go from the white wire to the green wire to the relay. Activate the relay and turn the lights on. At least that's how I'd decipher it. I have 5-7" Optilux lights and that's how they are wired and work fine
