100w Front Spots & wiring

kevin cottrell · Feb 23, 2009

im after some info on wiring 2 front spot lights,hoping to wire the lamps to the full beam of main lights but ive limited knowledge of car wiring any assistance or explanation on how to do this would be appreciated ,would they need a seperate relay etc which colour wires would i be crimping too?

yes you need a relay and an inline fuse. I would wire it all direct from the battery, via the fuse and the only wire you need to scotchlock into is the main beam feed on the back of the headlight, take this to the coil of your relay, via a switch for isolation of the spots. w=IxV so your 2x 100 w spots, at 12v will pull 16.6 Amps, fuse them at 20A
