Big Rich:
Will the switch on the dash (Disco 200 Tdi 1991) say the rear heater or wiper type switch be okay to use for 6 Hella FF50 spot lamps? 8)

muddyweb:
With 6 lamps, you will want to put them through a couple of relays.

6 x 55W Lamps is around 27 Amps.  

The switch will be OK to fire a relay though, yes.

Hightower:
I used one switch to control the two relays that my 4 FF50's are connected to and that was fine.
Then I changed my mind and fitted a switch per pair.  I'll probably change back in a while  :?

Big Rich:
This may be a stupid question but.....
 :oops: (I'm not to knowlagable about electrics.)  :oops:

Is there a speciffic relay or relays I need to get?

If so what are ther and where would you suggest I go?

<cue my fantastic diagram>

Normal Automotive relays are what you want.  4 terminal.
