Smile PIAA 525 Switch

Hello Everyone,

I have a 2003 Ranger XLT. A while back I installed a pair of PIAA 525 which I love. The problem is that the OEM switch they provide really sux. Have anyone tried to change the switch or a PIAA 525?

This is what am trying to do:

1. I want to at a switch for the LED. This way I can turn them off in areas where the law frowns on ordimental lighting.

2. Master switch to turn lights off/on

3. Toggle switch between high/low beam.

4. All switches are lighted.

Anyone have a basic wiring diagram?

Please let me know.

A bit more info may be needed;

I want to at a switch for the LED.
What is the LED for? I unfortunately have never seen these lights.

Toggle switch between high/low beam.
Do the lights have 2 different beam patterns, or do you want them to go off/on with the high beams on the truck?

the PIAA 525 and 550 have white LEDs in them too keep the a glow. It is more for show then anything else.

I had more than my share of aftermarket lights on my Ranger, so I'm fairly well versed in this area.

What wires come out of the lights themselves, and how do you want them to fuction exactly?
