HELP!!!! BUT PLEASE KEEP IT VERY SIMPLE!!!

Trying to fit driving lights (not LR) to 2001 Freelander V6 so they come on/off with high beam….Mounting onto roofrack.

Wiring kit instructions say to connect into main beam circuit…. Got all the bits to do it but which wire and where is best place to connect????

Cheers all

no offence, seeing as you have contemplated doing that job without having access to a multimeter i would suggest that (unless you want a visit from the fire service) that you give the job to someone who does own one and who knows how to use it
 
you need a relay with the coil connected from the main beam wire to ground, then across the contact from the battery to the lights...

You might find it easier to find the main beam live feed inside the cab

stop encouraging him to set his vehicle on fire

............ no on/off switches - no fuses - no mention of wire grade
 
oops i've just noticed this is the Freelander section

you carry on there lerk - dont forget to suggest that twin and earth is good
 
i've connected mine right near the light but my spots are on the front of my landy.

You'll want to attach the switch connector on the relay to the green/blue wire going to ur lights (this is the full beam +).

Don't forget your fuses, and then connect the relay onto the battery. I've not got a switch between my spots and the relay so can't switch them off when i have my full beams on, i'm going to get round to doing it in the future though. I found a good circuit on the net when doing mine, helped loads as it had the relay numbers listed and what to connect them to. Can't find it now though.

If i remember rightly, go from the - on the spots to the chassis, the - on the relay to the chassis, and then there's two connectors on the relay, one for battery (with fuse in between) and one to the + on the spots.

Can you read...If so read back on my initial post and see if it says I have even started job....

Can get one refers to the fact I can move from PC in house to garage and get one...Unfortunately I dont keep everything at arms length.

Anyone prepared to answer:doh:

**** off dick.... Got all bits refers to relay switch wire fuse etc etc etc again read initial post....

Obviously got a problem with freelander or never got yer bollocks emtied recently
 
You really do need either a multimeter or test lamp... this was stated in one of your first responses.

And I also let you know it's quite easy to find in the cab.

Another hint - the main beam fuse is only live when the switch is activated ;)
 
Found the diagram i used when i did mine.

Seeing as i've told you which colour the full beam + is you can do away with needing a multimeter. I can't see the wire colours being any different for a V6 or a year newer model.
