Spotlight Wiring Help

Hi, I have just bought some new spotlights for the front of my disco and plan on putting the old spot lights on the rear to use as high power reversing lights (existing disco ones are rubbish). I am setting up the rear spots using a new relay with main power supplied from a fused battery connection but wondered if the low voltage triger (on off switch) could come from an existing switched output say fron the heated front window switch. I dont want to put any more switches in so wondered if this would work without causing an electrical problem.

Also I have purchased Angel Eye spots for the fron which will use the existing spot relay so no problem there, however would it be safe to just splice the outer low poweer ring of the spots to the parking light wires?

Any advice would be wecome

You can use the existing side light cabling to power up the LED 'Angle eyes' as LEDs are very power power consumption so won't overload the loom.

Why don't you take a live from your reversing lights as the trigger for the relay for your reversing spotlights? That way you don't need another switch.

Cheers

The heated screen switches are non-latching and work via timer relays, but what u suggest sounds a bodge to me, so don't do it, it's no the best way to increase to load by splicing into existing circuits.

Instead install a seperate mini fuse box with a fused supply from from the battery then take your light feeds from that if there was ever a problem it wouldn't interfere with the existing disco circuits and the fault would be easy to trace.

You can splice a relay into the side light circuit to switch the supply to the Angel Eye bulbs unless they use LEDs.

There's no such thing as low voltage switching with the disco it's all 12volts.

I have rear spots on mine they are wired into the existing reversing lights.
