Wiring for spots.
ChrisW:
Hmmm so what else did you pick up from the scrapyard then?!!
You really want a multi-meter or tester of somesort to check for which wires you have continuity on, I would imagine it could be something like one pair is across the switch and the other is across the lamp.
Maplins should do one for a fiver - maximum of a tenner - one with a buzzer when you have continuity is useful so you don't have to keep checking the display.

You've all totally lost me, so I guess I'm gonna have to pay for them tobe wired up somehow :?:

--- Quote from: "Andy." ---They have two wires going to the switch part and then another two coming from the light feed.

I *think* the two wires on the switch part will be for the feed in and the switched feed out, theo two from the light feed will be a supply for the lamp and an earth.
You could test this by connecting the light feed cables across a battery but be careful to make sure you don't melt or blow anything.
Personally I would use the multimeter to check if the wires across the switch part are connected when the switch is operated and disconnected when the switch is off.
You can then use the meter to measure the resistance across the two sets of wires - the one with the indicator lamp on should be a slightly higher resistance than that of the switched pair.
This one looks a handy addition to the toolbox...

Don't forget - the hard part doing all the wiring etc is done - all your doing is changing the switch on the end - if you can do your fusebox / second battery I reckon this should be a walk in the park for you! :wink:

Cheers Chris, this is of course coming after seeing smoke last weekend. I might have a go this coming weekend :?
