L Series Spotties
L Series Spotties
G'day guys, spent yesterday wiring up the 100w spotties on Scoob so theyd operate on high beam with the legally required cut off switch etc, following the diagram provided with the wiring kit + dad's guiding wisdom. I found the wire in the combo switch which turns the high beam on connected everything up turned on the ignitionand the spotties turned on. Turns out the wiring for the high beam is hot on acc/ign, cold with the headlights on, then hot again for the high beam
Has anyone else had this problem, or is my wagon just reeallly reeeally special, and howd you work around it?
Much appreciated, Alex

we found this sort of thing on the rally car, basically we were getting interference.
had no control over the spots for one rally, that was a serious downer.
We ended up putting 3 more relays in but im unsure where or why, all i know is it fixed the issues

oh yeah forgot about that too
Also if you havent already look at upgrading your standard headlights, from the stories ive heard the original lights run power through the switch not a relay, so instead of getting 12V at the lights they get close to 9 or less with age.
Lots of threads on how to fix this too, possibly in GANNONs post
