Hi Lifteddisco.

I will endevor to draw a wiring plan and get it up on here for you asap If I can remember how I did it :roll:

I know I had a six fuse block and three relays and a butty box , with this lot I could power up the roof light as two pairs (ready for pulse lights) and the bull bar spots and some spare bits for the rear work lights.

leave it with me :D

(ps it might be in crayon as I'm not allowed anything sharp)

This any good Courtesy of Evilgoat?



We'll get to the fuse in a moment. Wire the main beam feed to one of the outer pins of the switch, the other outer goes to the side of the fuse you fitted furthest from the battery so the fuse is between it and the battery. You might want to add a VERY low rated fuse in here, 1A would be generous, to protect the switching circuit. Wire the center to pin 86 of the relay and wire pin 85 to ground.
Wire a fuse from the BATTERY to pin 87 of the relay. Then connect your spots to pin 30. Use an on-off-on switch and you will have:

On
Off
On with Main Beam.

The Fuse
Find out the wattage of your spots and add them up. so In my case I have 2*100W so thats 200W, simple eh?
Now divide that by the voltage
so 200/12 = 16.6.

Nearest fuse is 15A, that will blow. Also you need to allow a reasonable margin for surges and in a -V switched system, the relay too. 20A would be resonable here. With larger spots make sure your relay is up to it too!
