Has anyone wired this type of passing lights up?

They don't have instructions and the wires are bare at the ends, so no wiring harness plug-ins. I'm a little weak on the electrical stuff. Anyone have any experience or should I just wait it out for a full kit?

Should be a simple install, decide if you want them on the high, low or their own switch. Check your manual for the wire colors for high or low beam and splice them in, or run a new switched hot lead into the headlight bucket.

I ran mine off the low beam power line and put in a separate switch. That way I could run them with or without the low beam and they would not come on with the high beams...

That sounds simple enough. As long as I don't hit any snags- knock on wood- the biggest obstacle will be clean wiring!
