Re: New KC Lights
If you hook them directly to your high beams you are asking for some burnt wiring. What you will need to do is wire them to a relay. Open w/o 12V+, closed w/12V+. On one side you will have the constant 12V+ from your battery (this will pull probably 20A), on one side you will have your accessory, it this case KC lights, and on one side you will have your 12V+ coming from a switched source (this will be probably less than 2A). Tap your high beam lighting wiring and run a switch inside the cab and then out to the relay. Do this so if there is ever a time when you do not want them on w/the high beams you can turn them off.
If you don't quite follow let me know, I have done this kind of thing several times with the warning lights for the F.D. on my 88 Silverado. I could draw you up a diagram if you need one.
