I got the power to the little "city light" by just connecting to the yellow side running lights. If I remember correctly, I think you can also do it wrong so that it blinks when you use the turn signal... I think that this would be bad. Anyway, you can get the power for that little guy anywhere, as long as it is hot only with the light switch on (my city lights stays on when the ignition is off (if the light switch is on), like most European cars). BOSCH H4 Connector PN 1 304 485 004 (sorry... it really does not look like an Oreo Cookie... I guess I was just hungry when I made my last posting). You can see it in action below: http://www.fishforms.com/vanagon/lights.cfm You will also see here the thick cables I used (overkill... but pretty!) the extra ground I installed on the frame (connecting directly to the battery ground), and the 4 relays in place. The high gloss black substance you see is the POR-15 applied to the area around the headlights... It was a test, but seems to be an amazing substance. I'll report back on it in a few years.
