Hi
Can someone explain how to wire in spotlights that are connected to high beam and have an additional isolator switch in the cab.
Any help would be great !
Lots of people have various ways/ideas but the information seems disjointed and incomplete in many cases.
Maybe a simple drawing would help many people
Thank you in advance
Dorbs

Sorry. Forgot to label the relay pins.

The lead to battery positive with inline fuse would be pin 30
Relay lead to ground would be pin 85
Relay lead to Spot would be pin 87
The lead from the red wire, through the override switch would connect to pin 86

All of this assumes a wiring harness with relays and inline fuses was supplied with the spots.

I would normally say "glad I could help" but actually hope you haven't done this yet and see this new post. I've done a decent amount of electrical on the Jimny but too often go back to the grounding system concept of my previous vehicles during discussions.

A corrected diagram is this:

Hopefully this hasn't created any problems.
