Spot lamp aux switch

huddy229 · Jan 29, 2014

Evening,

Just been searching for a switch to turn on/off my spot lights, I've noticed that the ones with the '2' for the binnacle are really expensive and are none latching. Can I just use front fog switches? As they seem more readily available and cheaper, and am I right in thinking they are latching?

Cheers!

Also, is a 'bolt on bits' bar ok? Or am I better spending a tender more for something from mm 4x4?

Maybe best of with a cruise control switch then? As that latches and has an led?

So what's best to use then? I thought fog light switches where click on, click off?

I rewired ours with an old fashioned relay and rocker switch from my bits bin, now actually work and cost nothing

Best bet is to buy a defender heated seat switch, ( £5.00 +vat ),and just unclip the front facia and put a D2 front fog light switch facia on.

As spot lamps or driving lamps if fitted should only be used with main (high) beam why do u wish to switch them off? the additional light is a benefit is it not.

I want to be able to operate them individually that all, don't want to have to put high beam on

Will a defender heated seat stitch fit on the binnacle of a d2?

If it doesn't, use a fog lamp switch and hide one of these behind the dash. 12v to one side of the switch the other side wired to the pulsed input of the board, take the latching output to your spot lamp relay switched input and also back to the switch to power the LED.

Could I use a rear wiper switch to turn them on/ off then? And just change the front cover?

Thanks,
