Wiring Spotlights

Post by Guy » Fri Aug 04, 2006 1:45 pm

A friend recently gave me a pair of ol spotties for my L Series (nothing else included). I don't know much about wiring. I'd like to know what I'd need in terms of switches, relays and how conect it all together. Any help would be greatly appreciated,

Thanks.

Best option is to buy the complete package from an auto shop. They include wiring, relay, switch and instructions. I bought one last year and so much easier than cutting wire, fitting connections etc etc. Got mine from Independent Motor Mart.

You use the outside 2 wires as the signals for the relays
