People with extra lights on the front of their vehicles often have strange ideas regarding which ones to use and when.
:
Don't know - that's why I was asking.
I went this way.

On a 30A relay, triggered off the full beam, it's like daylight out there when I hit the full beams
Why would you think to trigger off your front fogs? Bit random
Either separate switching or triggering off your full beams. be sure to relay them in with fuses and please don't take this personally but do not skotchlock into the trigger wire, sheath it and solder or you can use any number of connectors to make a good electrical contact that can be sealed from the elements.
That looks, er, oh is that the time? Must dash........I went this way.

Or if you do motorway driving in warmer countries too fit them on the roof or where ever you want but not in front of the radiator cos it will affect bad the cooling, intercooling and the climate control... they restrict from 25 to 50% the air flow through the radiators depends on how big they are and how they are fitted ... that's a fact based on live measurements made by me on a friend's vehicle with and without spots on motorway, the ECT and IAT were both higher with up to 10*C, ECT above 100 all the time and due to the higher IAT the EGT was a bit higher too. Each for his own but i would not fit spots un front of the grill whatsoever
this is a good ideea

Pah!
It is perfect at what it does, there are another 6 7" light bars for the roof bar, but alas I don't have enough amps off the alternator for them all to be fitted at the moment.
Bugger - now you've totally got me.
I have been doing lots of European miles and my last D2 had fitted high beam spots and they were extremely useful in parts of Europe, so I guess that's what I was hoping to emulate.
