I am planning on using these to replace Hella 500 black magic lights. Can I use the existing wiring to install these lights?

I am not familiar with Hella lights. This light in question operates on 12 volts and very minimal current. I run one of my lights as a work flood light off of a cell phone charger that plugs into the wall. Any wiring you have should suffice.

If you are using these for turn signals, you will need to add resistors, however, they can be spliced directly inline for running lights. They are two wire lights without a plug, so they are simple to wire.

Yes make sure your supply wire is heavy enough 12 ga. Should do. These look like 27 watt lights times 4 eguals to 104 watts.

Yes, you can attach the existing wires. Just write down what color goes to which spot because mine was in a little different order.

I don't think you need the red and black wires for these bulbs just replace the stock bulbs and put LED bulbs as a replacement

You should not need anything else to install the lights. I created a fuse able link during my installation just as a preventive measure, but that option is up to you.

These lights take standard 115V AC power, which should be the same as your fluorescent lights, so yes, you should be able to use the existing wiring. I replaced a wall-mounted fluorescent light in a closet with one of these and it was an easy installation.

These are 12v lights so you should only have 2 wires you can connect to. It does not matter which color you connect to which wire, as long as it is only 12v.

Yes, the connectors work well with existing 2 wire 12 volt wire. I bought 20 lights and used my existing transformers and wire.

Yes- I believe they will work just fine. For me they worked better than the regular lights because they don't need as much voltage to be bright so they were brighter where I had longer wire runs.

Yes.. you can use stock bulbs with these units. The connections are all the same.

Hi Leslie - yeah, these things are kindofa brat to install. It took my electrician several tries before he got it, and the instructions aren't clear. If I remember correctly, your wiring to/from the light needs to have a three wire configuration, where one wire is called the "traveler" wire... it essentially informs the other switch of the state of itself so they are always in sync.If you have an older home, you may be SOL - the wiring may not support this switch type.Rob

Hi I don't really know the answer to your question. I plugged my existing connection for the lights and it worked. No new wires or changes.

I'm not 100% but I would think so. I LOVE my lights and have gotten so many compliments on them. They were really easy to install. I don't see why you wouldn't be able to.

I see no reason why not. Just remember the supply wire from the battery to a switch then to the main connection point of all four lights must be able to support the total wattage of ALL the lights combined. The switch ( if there is one ) must also be able to handle the total wattage.

Yes you can use this unit. Your original Guide Bars are a single brightness level. The White wire goes to ground. Think of the other two wires as Lo and High brightness. Pick the brightness you want and connect it up to your 'one wire', just don't use the remaining wire. Tail or Running Lights = DimmerStop or Turn = BrighterOld style Dual Incandescent bulbs have two filaments to achieve the dual brightness levels.LED units are able to very there brightness levels and/or turn On more individual LED's to increase brightness for Stop or Turn.

You may want to purchase a bit heavier wire if you are running them a long distance I would suggest 8-10 gauge. Also wiring is simple, hot wire off the switch to the lights and the ground off the switch to the lights, then of course power wire to the switch. I purchased these for my 55 F100 and they are really cool.
