G'day again,

What's the best way of wiring up spotties to the existing wiring without causing hiccups with computer mods..It's an AU Series II.

These are high wattage, do I need a seperate wiring box and additional relays for each one and do I need an extra on/off power switch.

Although they need to be wired up in such a way that when normal high beam is dipped then the spotties are dipped same time. However I'd like to have an extra switch that would allow me to have these on or off independently.

Any help on this would be welcome

Thanks in advance

Thanks for the diagram Dansedgli,

Do I still wire this up to the existing circuit controlling the vehicles low and high beam?

Thanks

that diag is great but for ease

i would use the below diagram make life easy

just find the wire under the dash that triggers the high beams ( should be 12v only when high beam is on )
save on fitting a 2nd switch and indicator light

the only thing is the spotties will always turn on/off with high beams the other diagram will allow them to be turned on/off separately

You really should have a switch in the setup. I'd just do what FordFairmont said, they will come with relays, wires, switch etc.

I have all the gear including high wattage spotties, I lost the box that had the wiring instructions.

Cheers
