hi all have installed relays (2 in a waterproof case) for my spotlights.
have found the red wire on the headlight bulb is the main beam.(but this is covered by the cap) so cant get a wire to it.
there is a multiplug coming out the back of the headlight unit but there is not much wire to play with.
where do you people take your trigger from.
thankyou
j

I've always used a Scotch Lock to break into the main beam lead for the relay trigger circuit. Then I make sure it good and waterproof by using self amalgamating tape, although not really necessary as it under the bonnet.

Nada nish nil points.

I cant stand breaking into factory looms. All my feeds come from an add-a-circuit off the fuse box and then a dedicated line through to the relay. Much neater and more reliable and only a couple o quid. Only issue comes when trying to get quite a few in, but I have one on my headlights, sidelights and foglights and they fit in fine.
