How do you wire it black hot goes to what and neutral white goes to what. I see cathode and anode and the writes from fixture ar blue red and black

Sorry, I don't seem to have the same wire colors coming out of this fixture. I wired it (as seen in the first chart on http://www.allaboutcircuits.com/vol_5/chpt_2/2.html) as blue = neutral (white), light brown = hot (black), green/yellow striped = ground, and it works for me.

First, the unit won't operate unless you have an active ground connection. The instructions are poor in that they don't show the complete circuit to the light. Basically, run your power cable through the switch box to the light fixture; the black wires of the switch will be spliced into the black "hot" wire of the cable; the green wire of the switch will be connected to (but not interrupt) the ground wires of the cable. The white "neutral" wire will run only to the light - bad design in my opinion, because the switch uses ground instead of neutral to complete its control circuit, but apparently it meets electrical code or could not be marketed.

there are only two wires a red and white. on the one i bought, you cut the wire from the ac adapter and strip the ends.i touch each end to your battery post .if they dont light switch them and you will find which is ground. you can also cut them to any length and solder wires to the ones you cut.its a little work but not hard

I am pretty sure I had to wire black to red and red to black and it worked fine. Have been installed for 6 months no problem. Also, my neighbor is an electrician and said it should be fine.

You need to cut the ballets out of the fixture. Then you need to wire in the tub sockets depending on the type tubs you have. Either one end is hot and other end is neutral or on the same end one pin is hot and the other pin is neutral. I chose the first type. Hope this helps good luck. If you have any more questions let me know. I love my lights. You can email me at Baer.n@sbcglobal.net

Main Power supply in to switch. #1 Black Power To Black on switch. Green to ground . White switch to white motor. White main power to White Motor. If unit doe's not turn in proper way, Just switch the 2 whites at motor around. If you have any other problems, contact me veia e mail at vietvetbob1@hotmail.com. Or call cell at 973-903-5071 . Leave message with your phone number and I will try my best to assist you. GL, Bob

I wired mine into the Reverse lightbulb (with an in-line fuse for protection). Red into the hot wire, then ground the black wire to the metal chassis. This way whenever I put my truck in reverse, I get a HUGE light to see when backing up in the dark!

You have to wire it. I used the plug out of my old one. Also, construction is very thin, and you have to use your own bulbs, and mine came slightly damaged from shipping. Good thing is that it rapid starts.

You will need a meter to troubleshoot the wiring, sounds like there is a chance you need to attach black to blue and black to red instead of the way you have it. BUT FIRST - depress the reset switch in the center of the front panel with a paper clip. I had the same problem and it worked for me!

The black goes to ground the red wire goes to positive on the high beam. You have to find the high beam wire first. Good luck.

Red(load) goes to the positive + wire of the light. The white goes to the negative terminal of the battery and the black goes to the positive terminal of the battery. Don't forget to take the negative wire of the light to the negative terminal of the battery as well.

You see 3 wires, first one is green and is a ground wire. Attach it to the ground if you do not use the bare copper wire also on the fixture which is another ground wire. The other two are clear and white. On mine the white wire went to the black wire in the box and the clear one went to the white wire coming out of the box. Since this is A/C current it really should not matter which one goes to which but make sure you do use the green or bare copper wires to create the ground contact. Hope this helps.

The light is polarity sensitive, red is positive, black is negative, check the polarity of your existing wiring, you may find black is positive and white is negative. Why you have 2 white wire? I'm not sure, one wire may possibly be suppling gound to another fixture... goood luck, Scott

It has pigtails and wire nuts. It's a simple resistor, so the only thing you need to do is wire it in line between the load (hot) wire and the fixture.

What if you have one more light, WHAT?How do you hook them up? I put all the red wires together and all the black wires together and hook them to power. Red to positive and black to ground. OR I hook up a positive thru the switch I'm using, and a ground from the battery then I "tap" into each with the LED strip wires. You HAVE TO WIRE THEM CORRECTLY RED TO POSITIVE, BLACK TO NEGATIVE OR THE LED WON'T WORK AT ALL. Its not like a regular light bulb that can be wired in reverse. Hope all this mess helps you.

hook the yellow w/green stripe to ground wire(green), the blue wire is neutral (white wire),and the brown wire is hooked to the 120v hot leg(black wire). hope this helps.

there is just 2 wires. one black and one red. just connect the red to the positive and black to the negative. great lights and very simple instalation!!
