Use a relay to feed the lights and take the main beam power as the power to switch the relay.
As long as running aux lights on the main beam is legal wherever you are.

Personally I take feed off the main beam circuit through a switch (with a light) then to the relay.

thanks for the quick replies guys, been a great help  :!: as for location Ed located in Saudi in a little town called Dhahran/Al Khobar, may have seen it a few months ago on the news  :?:  local vehicle testing MVPI aka MOT is a little strange on the subject bein as your car wont pass with them fitted [will wire in bullet connectors for quick removal] even if they come as standard equipment including fog lights etc.

Hi Gary nice to see you've found Mud Club  :wink:

There are some wiring diagrams on http://www.discoweb.org. in the tech section. It's the last link on the LHS of the page.

HTH.

Another 2p's worth (mine's along the line of Tim's but straighter lines :lol:  :P )
Look on page 2 of 'disco mods' for a couple of diagrams...
