PLOW LIGHT WIRING?????????

I have an 88 f250 and plan on putting a plow on it. I got an entire plow setup from a donor truck. standard 8ft western blade. I don't know who makes the lift frame and push plates. My question is how do I hook up the plow lights? The donor truck is long gone and I only have the wires coming off of each light. The lights are the old square type. I was hoping someone might have a wiring schematic showing how to hook up the lights.

This is typical:



Basically, you're disconnecting the factory lights and replacing them with the auxilary or plow lights. Instead of a switch on the right bottom of the diagram, you can use a DPDT 12V relay.

Hopefully someone has a better schematic than the above, but it's all I had bookmarked.

Western Plow website

If its a western, see the link below and find the setup you have.
Most of the installation instructions include wiring.
