spotlights connection

I want to fit some spots, I already have the ES spoiler fog lights, can I wire some spots up to these?

Not unless you want to overload the wiring (and have them working as fog lights).

Use a relay triggered by main beam with a new feed.

You could take a feed from the fog lights and use it to trigger a relay. But I would agree with AWP, it would be better to use main beam to trigger the relay instead.

I circumcised my bumper to increase the approach angle and used the foglight switch to switch on a pair of 8" 100 watt driving lamps (via a relay of course). I also have a pair of 6" ones that come on with main beam.

 

[plastic soul]

do you mean main beam as in high beam?
Circumsise meaning you lopped the bottom trim off?

 

[Critical Mick]

Yep high beam

Before the circumcision:-

After giving it the chop:-

And after adding the lights:-

The should come on with high beam only, thats according the regulations for highway use.

I missed that bit , who would trigger spot/driving lights from a fog light circuit ?.

I'm liking that, so if there is fog, you don't bother with anything?

The fog light circuit and main beam need to be totally seperate. One shouldn't activate the other.
