Wiring Spotlights - Where's do I tap into the high beam wire ????

Hi, Just added some Lightforce spotties to my Series 150.

All wired except for the feed to the new switch in the dash.

I have trawled Google and this forum but cannot find any answers.

Any idea where I hook into the high beam ?

Cheers

Barry

Cheers, Just done that. I guess this is the easiest way. I was hoping to tap off somewhere near the switch I was installing rather than running a feed from the front of the car.

I run earth back into the cabin so for some this makes the lights on the switch run backwards. This way i can just earth the other side if the switch under the dash. That is why I mount the relay close to the headlight and have a shorter run for the +VE trigger wire. There will definitely be a trigger wire off the indicator stalk, sorry no idea which wire it is. By the way to get the lighting on the switch to work the other way just run the tapped trigger wire to the switch and back out to the relay.

I personally have a tendency to just run a length of speaker wire (Anything Fig8) from the interior switch out to the front and can then split it off, one to the headlights for the trigger and the other to relay.

I picked up a wire on the steering column. Unfortunately it was too long ago for me to remember what colour it was, sorry.
