spotlight wiring - where does stuff go?!

hi again everyone, thanks for all the help we did the job, they really help the crappy stock headlights. there's a (bad) picture attached. Re the main beam feed, i got the soldering iron out (we did have one) and just stuck the wire from the terminal into the headlight wire clip, dropped a blob of solder in, let it cool and pulled it to test soldering quality and just clipped it back on. the job, as they say, was a good'un. i'm getting a steady 13.4v to them, which surprised me as my wiring is....not very good. lamps are earthed to bumper bolts.

i just have one more question, i've bought a little rocker switch to isolate the spots because every time i flash someone the radio conks out for a few seconds. can i wire it into the wire going from the relay to the battery? that would be easiest for placing the switch in the dash.

hi sorry only just seen this, nah it's just the radio and i'm not that bothered about it doing it, it's probably a bad earth somewhere.

problem i have now is that one spotlight has stopped working completely, tried new bulb, re-wired it with better wire and cleaner connections but still dead. it's the one furthest from the battery if you get me. furthest down the wire.

any ideas?
