From memory, I think that’s what I did too. The spots need to be fed through their own relay with the existing headlamp main beam acting as the trigger for the relay only. OP can decide if he wants s switch to choose if the headlights come on with main beam or not. If there isn’t a relay loom supplied with the lights, you can buy one from Landreiziger. 2007 110 TDCi Station Wagon XS

Thats what i was hoping to do , Use the reduntant to trigger the relay via a isolator switch , . Am i correct in that redundant via switch to 85 relay , 86 earth , 87 live to spots , 30 live from batt to relay .

I do have a plug n play spot light kit , which i was hoping to do was use it minus the headlight plugs on 85 take it off the relay And run a wire from the reduntant via a switch to the relay 85 and wire the spotlight kit as normal . But I need to know in previous post have I got the relay connections correct . It's a 4 pin relay . But came without a isolator switch . thanks gerry

You need to connect the trigger wire to pin 86:
 How a switch is included in the circuit depends what type of switch you're using. The standard LR button switches earth, for example, and so needs to be connected in series with pin 85: Click image to enlarge If it's a more straightforward switch then it could be in series with pin 86, particularly if it has internal illumination.

It's a illuminated push pull switch I have coming durite 10 amp , Thanks for the diagrams , I'm sure I wil be able to do it now .Reduntant hi beam via switch to 86 as in diagram 1 , and wire the rest as per . I was nearly right , So thanks for saving me blowing my lamps or new head lights or even worse . I can get on with it now and do it properly . Again thanks to everyone for all the help . I totally was confused with using the Boomslang and not knowing if it was ok to use the reduntant plug to trip the relay .

The diagrams LRA has posted above tells you all you need to know to configure what you want.
There are two choices there, depending on what you want. I have mine on the most simple diagram main beam triggered on/off, for the reason that it's most simple and reliable. Each to their own of course, but I wouldn't want them switched separately personally as they'd hardly ever be used at all. I would also keep your spotlight wiring completely independent of your headlight loom. The trigger can be taken from a main beam female pin on the standard LR H4 headlight connector. (The opposite side to the plug you used as your add in headlight loom trigger.) Then this way, it adds another fail safe incase there was any issue with the upgrade headlight loom. Some headlight looms share a power feed in, others such as the Land Reiziger. (Which I have are independent.) This means that each and every feed is fuse protected in its own right, and is very important in my opinion in case of failiure. Really the choice is yours, but I would bear this in mind.  $W33T $0U7H3RN $UG4R

Maybe should of added its a defender 300tdi 1996 . So no fancy switches . I won't always want the spots to work on hi beam and why I want a switch . I will use the simple diagram but use a switch to isolate the spots or have the spots work when on hi beam , Not have them work just by a switch independently .
