hey guys,

does anyone have a diagram of how to wire these up? a mate of mine and i last night installed everything and couldnt figure it out so (i know this is wrong) but just clipped the wires into the headlight loom so they come on when the headlights are turned on.

how do u connect them to the parkers so they come on when the parkers r on? keep in mind i am hopeless with wires and all that stuff so a diagram or 2 would be ace!

Thanks in advance

so do i just strip the wires back and then attach each wire together together?

No, go to Jaycar and get some of those wire splicer/joiners (http://www.jaycar.com.au/productView.asp?ID=PT4637) (feed both wires in parallel and then squeeze shut. The metal prong then cuts through the insulation and joins both wires).

Or if you want, can get those add-a-circuit fuse taps to tap into the parker fuse and power the angel eyes that way. However, if you are planning to replace the existing parkers with the angel eyes, then why not:
1. Unplug the parker light plug.
2. Crimp spade connectors to the end of the angel eye cables.
3. Slide the spade connectors into the existing (unplugged) parker light plug.

Isn't the park light 'plug' a wedge or ba15s type connection, depending on what headlights you have?

I reckon the quick splice connector is the go.

Not sure on the gauge of the wires, but it'd most likely be pretty small, so these ones may work best: http://www.jaycar.com.au/productView.asp?ID=PT4537&form=CAT2&SUBCATID=996#1

True. In that case, just use the splices or the add-a-circuit fuse kits and remove the existing parker bulbs.
