Spots and stuff

<< < (3/3)

thermidorthelobster:
Thanks Aaron.  Did you fit new switches or do something cunning with the binnacle switches?

smith335:
i fitted switches to the blank switches in the binnacle, by cutting out the middle just enough to fit a small rocker switch.

i fitted two, one for the front 4 spots (all on at once, big relay used)
and one for the work light.

i used the blanks as if i every remove the roof rack and spots,i can just replace the blanks,and theres no damage done to the dash.

hope this helps.

Iain C:
Just bear in mind that technically speaking roof mounted spots are illegal to use on the road.

I still think they look good and it seems to be one of those "turn a blind eye" areas by plod, but just worth bearing in mind before you open your wallet!

Might sound like a really daft question BUT have you checked the headlight levelling switch next to the wing mirror switch? should be set to 0 with just normal load.

thermidorthelobster:
Yeah, I've had a fiddle and both sides work, but even on the highest setting they look too far angled down to me.  Maybe when I had my rear suspension recalibrated (a couple of years ago!) they went out of tolerance.

I've tried using the manual adjustment to tweak them upwards a bit, will have to find out whether this makes a difference next time I drive in the dark.
