Light wiring

Evening.
Now I not sure if it's me being a bit dumb iv gone to wire my front spots up to day and want them to work with high beam. I have usually just spurred off the main beam wire as a trigger for the relay But when I put a meter on the plug that goes to the bulb all 3 pins have 12volts but the build dosent light untill turned on in the cab. So this means I can us it as a trigger because the relay would constantly be on.

Why dose the power have 12 all the time to all 3 pins
Any help much appreciated wiring isn't my strong point

Thanks

Jimnys are permenant live with the earth switched.

Oh OK so if I want to use the hight beam as a trigger what would be the best way to do this spur off the wire from the stork in the cab?

So like this pls see pic

just connect pin 86 to the white wire with a coloured stripe going to the headlight. or better a fused positive supply through a switch, and pin 85 to the all red wire going to the headlight.

So would this be the right way round? This stuff never sinks in

As Facade said. The white and colored stripe to pin 86 and the solid red (high beam) wire to 85. That provides current, exciting the relay (switching it) when the high beam is on. Assuming there is no pin 87a, connect your fused lead from the battery to pin 30 and your spot light lead to pin 87. Run the ground from your spots to an appropriate ground.

Ok thanks will try that thanks all for your patience

No patience required. We all try to help. Let me also clarify my post. It would be better to say that you would tie into the white and striped wire and the red wire with leads from the 86 and 85 relay pins.

Just post again if you have problems.

Thank you will have a little time to mess with it tomorrow afternoon so will report back then Or ask for more help one or the other haha
