Landy1uk:
I've got Driving lights up top in centre and fogs either side on seperate switches + relays used the Disco 1 switchesthat go in casing where the coin tray in a D2 is they light up aswell. none are wired to the main beam would now which wire to splice in to
topless matt:
The wire to splice into is the blue and orange wire iirc. Just have a look in a haynes manual and it will tell you, ou only use the wire to feed a relay that will power the lights up anyway.
TBM:
As far as I'm aware, the axle thing is an urban myth that has found it's way into forums, LR magazines and even police cars.......
Here is the official documentation about Optional Main Beam lamps:
http://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/1989/1796/schedule/5/made
They must extinguish when you select Dipped Beam, and they must be adjustable when the vehicle is stationary. There are no regulations regarding vertical or longitudinal fitting. It expressly states this in the legislation.
I would suggest that you carry around a copy of the legislation, as unfortunately some Police Officers have been caught up in the myth!
Llanigraham:
Sorry TBM, that legislation is for MAIN BEAM HEADLIGHTS, what is being referred to is additional AUXILLARY LIGHTS.
They seem to be covered by this:

Sorry Llanigraham, but I'm referring to 'Optional Main Beam Headlights' as in 'lights that come on with main beam'. In the legislation I quote, it says in PART II that any number can be fitted as long as they comply with section 7, 10 and 12.
The original post also mentioned lights linked to main beam, not auxiliary lights.
On further inspection, the legislation you quote refers to obligatory and optional front position lights. These are what we commonly refer to as sidelights.
