Hi all
I fitted a brand new set of wipac 8" spot lights to my A bar week before last, the previous owner to my defender had obviously had spot lights in before as he has left all the wiring there. So I linked my spots up to it and it all works. The cables are wired to the high beam back to a relay and to the alternator for power, he has also got a short bit of cable with two spade connectors and connected it to too connections on the relay.
But when I flash or turn full beam on then off the spot lights stay on and the only way to turn them off is to turn my lights off all together and then back on to dipped beam. Can become very annoying when I flash someone and they then stay on.
They only stay on when my lights are on, if all my lights are switched off and I flash they work fine, they just flash on and off. When I first connected them they seemed to do what they liked, one minute they would flash on and off and go on to full beam and off. Then they would flash and stay on. Could it be a dodgy relay?
Also I have seem a lot of landrover driving around with spot lights on low beam, can mine do that if I get duel filament bulbs?
Cheers
