Hi Sputnik, were you going to add something?..........I'm still aprehensive about wiring up my spots and it is mainly because of the earth switching. Also the wiring of a switch on the dashboard and the wires behind the left headlight. Do I just tap into them or make a break in them....confused I am. Cheers Minimin

[PS Narva make a neat switch with a foglight symbol which illuminates and it fits perfectly into the hilux accessorie blanked off holes- Part#-63027BL,Let us know how you go
Thanks Conrod....**** that feels weird as I have had the nickname Conrod since I was in the army in the 70's. In the down time I used to file, polish and balance my Cooper S rods. so they were in my kitbag for nearly two years....hence the guys started calling me conrod. Its a good job I didn't get round to doing my rockers......
Thanks for the Narva tip as that is the make of spots I am using. I found a link to 63026BL which is an illuminated rocker switch for the driving lamps. Now I just got to find a supplier.
From what you have given me re the diagram it seems the bullbar company had it mostly right. It was the wire colouring that gets me as I was not expecting it to go to a red/yellow for an earth! Where can I get wiring diagrams with the colour codes?
Cheers

Hi minimin,I have got the wiring diagram for hooking up spotties on the current model Hilux. I will post it up tomorrow as its to bloody cold outside at the moment to go to the shed. I know they dont hook up as normal as they use a earth return setup. Thats why you blew the fuse
Thanks I look forward to it. Normally I would do these jobs myself but when it is a brand new Ute and brand new Bullbar I thought I would leave it to the experts who do this every day. I even said to them that it was negative(Earth) switching. Would you believe it, conrod is my user name on all other sites. No wonder I couldn't get it on this one. Nice to meet you. Conrod(Minimin).

Hi guys, I'm new to the site.....so a big hello. My problem is that I had a new ally bullbar fitted and new spots. Soon after the first use the spots locked on and wouldn't turn off. Then I noticed the left headlight was very dim. That was because the 20amp fuse blew. I think I can see the wiring fault but want to get your opinion also. The supply to the relay comes from the red/yellow behind the left headlight, from the relay to the switch on the dash, from the switch on the dash to the red wire behind the left headlight. I was expecting to see an earth there somewhere......maybe off the relay? What do you guys think? Post here or/and email me KEV on cloverleafdesigns@yahoo.com.au ......I'm just glad it only cost me a fuse so far.

Cheers mate.......I have been recovering from a major op which meant I couldn't do much of anything for a long time. So the list of jobs just got longer and longer. Now I am back and firing on 7cylinders..ha ha. Now I am getting things done one by one. It feels good to see the list getting shorter. I just got to stop her adding to it.
