Spotlight wiring

Hi, Jezz...

After a week of nothing but work, I'm finally gonna get back to this.... :whistle:

My 2004 soft top doesn't have a red wire at driver's side headlamp....can you possibly tell me which bulb terminal your red wire went to please.....when looking at the bulb from the rear, is it left, top or right?

Thank you,

Gus

Hi Gus,

I'm pretty sure it was the right hand terminal as you look at the rear of the lamp, But i'll check for you tomorrow when i go down my lock up where the jim jam is. Or if you have a test meter, pull the plug off the lamp, put the jimny on full beam. neg side of the meter to earth positive side to the plug, Two terminals will be +12 volt one should be 0 volt, flick back to dipped and it should change to +12 volt, That will be the trigger negative for your relay.
Hope that helps Jez.

Cheers, Jezz....

That does seem to make sense when you put it like that....I'll try it tomorrow too when I'm also in the man-cave :whistle:

Thanks a lot mate, I'll let ya know....

Gus

Hi Gus,

Yes it's the right hand terminal as you look at the rear of the lamp.

Well I finally got this finished..... :whistle:

Big big thanks to Dave for the oddball wiring diagram , and to Jezz for the last-minute refinement.......cheers fellas

Sorry about the crap pic, but by now I was saturated and just wanted my Mum :whistle: :whistle: :woohoo: :whistle:

Very nice Gus looking smart
