Aftermarket driving light problem.

[Mark Rosenkrantz]

I presume you used a separate relay for the Hellas and only used the factory
circuitry for the terminal 85/86 trigger?

All grounds should be checked for less than 1ohm to the battery post.

It's a simple 12V circuit... start checking grounds and power at the lights
and work your way back through the circuit to the relay, switch, battery.
