thanks i remember you told me that before but the whole thing with the instructions saying to ground one side is what confused me just did not want to blow a good light thanks again

the ground side of the light goes to the alt. the positive side of the light goes to the switch,so when u turn on ur switch the light is on

I put a diode in series with the wire coming from the ground of the light to the alternator to prevent backfeed on my ignition, if you don't put one on, your buggy will stay running even if you shut your ignition off.

I thought the idiot light was the diode. You need to use a light that has two wires and doesn

if you run a msd box the idiot light is enough to backflow power to the msd and keep it running. thats why they include a diode with the msd box

Kyle is right, that's why I have one, I run a MSD system, when I first put it on, I turned on the ignition, the light came on, then I started the engine to see if the light turns off, it went off, it tells me it is working, so I shut the engine off but it still ran, I had to pull the wire off of the altern

Make sure you hook it up like this....

ALT ------l<------ Light (ground side or black wire)

That is a electrical symbol for the diode, the line you see on the diode is a silver line on the actual diode, make sure it is towards the alternator.

ok fellas my light has 2 black wires with the same writing on them i will try and get a pic of it so you can see it hell i may have the wrong light for all i know

If you got 2 black wires on your light, then it does'nt matter which end you hook up.
