Not a problem, Tony....threads are for everyone's help, not just mine :whistle: :whistle:
The wiring at my headlamps don't even have one which is red with silver bands, so you may still be right about the red being used as the trigger!!
When I'm done, I'll post a picture....the lights will either be working as they should, or there'll be a lot of water and blue lights around...time will tell :woohoo: :woohoo:

Yes, that's a Vitara diagram, not a Jimny...
You need to find which of the three 'live' wires to the headlight bulb drops to negative when the headlights go to full-beam...

Gus think of the relay as 2 separate circuits
Terminal 30 on the relay is the power supply in to work your lights. Usually from the battery via a fuse.The power feed out to your lights is usually from terminal 87 on the relay.
Terminals 86 and 85 switch the relay on / off via a separate power and earth feed .... This makes terminals 30 & 87 connect or disconnect hence powering up or down your lights if that makes sense

No worries. I'm hoping to grab an hour and try and get the lightbar fitted today. I have fitted wiring for mine so fingers crossed I got the trigger wire right. I'll let you know how I get on.
