I just got a pair of diamond cut xenon headlights for Christmas but can't figure out where to hook up the wires for the small blue bulb that sits on the bottom of the headlight. The lights are installed in the truck and work great. I think the effect would be much greater with the other bulb working though. Does anybody know where to attach these wires? One is black(ground) and the other is red (hot). I have several sinarios that would work but I want to hook them up they way they were meant to be. There weren't any instructions in the box.

That is probably a "city light", a small light in addition to the high and low beam, correct? I guess a few options are to hook it up to the parking lights or add a switch to control it separately. Here is a link to the Vortex forum Lighting FAQ with some additional information.

I ended up hooking the small lights to my parking lights. Having them hooked up at all tured out to be purely preference. they do enhance the look of the xenon bulbs though. Best upgrade I've ever done.
