Spotlight high beam input
Where is the best place to take a high beam feed for the spotlight relay from? Is there somewhere behind the dash or, do is it normal practice to take a feed from the main beam itself? Where does the Gen parts loom tap into? Trying to keep this as tidy as possible.

Many thanks in advance

Factory kit takes feed from the main beam indicator light in the instrument panel. In the process of fitting the factory kit myself.

Any ideas of location, colour etc?

Perhaps maybe a scan of the instructions?

Very Happy

Unless I'm mistaken it says Blue/Orange in the instructions....

It does, sorry yes.

The Td5 wiring diagram I have shows blue/white at the instrument cluster, but Puma seems to be blue/orange.

It's just taking a feed from the other side of the fuses.

Blue/white is main beam switch supply to fuses.
Blue/orange is main beam from fuse to right hand headlight.
Blue/slate is main beam from fuse to left hand headlight.

Basically it doesn't matter which of those you use.  1988 90 Td5 NAS soft top

Tell me about it! Not looking forward to drilling the dash or cutting wires, but have all the bits now, apart from an econoseal connector. This will be my Christmas project!

As youre looking into the engine bay, the far right hand side. There is a connector in the corner which has all the wires for the lights, I took my relay feed from the blue with white/grey trace. Was much easier than pulling the dash apart.
