Default passing lamp wiring

go down to your local auto store. pick up a 30AMP auto relay

the wiring is as such.

ground wire on lamps go directly to ground.

from your battery source, put an inline fuse of 15 or 20 amps.
put your power switch wherever you want it.
connect your power source to terminal # 30 of the relay
connect your power switch to power also (doesn't have to be anything spectacular just a simple acc or igniton source)
connect the other terminal from the power switch to terminal # 86 of the relay
connect terminal # 85 on the relay to ground
connect terminal # 87 on the relay to the other wire coming from passing lamps

all done.

hope that helps
Todd
