4 pin relay 86 High beam connect red wire yellow trace at back of headlight 30 + 12v source battery fused 85 switch from the red wire on the back of the light through the switch back to terminal 85 87 spotties better to run wires from each light earth under the bonnet and get a relay with two 87 terminals just easier and neater use 4mm wire -
