took me the best part of the day but did it properly (thanks to some electrical engineer friends) and very please......

and to top it all I went for a little spin at night to see what difference it would make and some scum decided to leave hismain beam on and his fog light.....i flashed once politely to suggest he dip his beam.....he didnt Laughing so i flashed to roof lights.....he dipped his pretty quickly. :twisted:

Quite complicated as i found a spare terminal in the fuse box area that switched with the ignition so used that to go to the light switch and so on will do a drawing and post next week if thats ok....
I decided to drill a hole in the bulkhead as couldnt get the wires through any existing grommets. I came out the bonnet by the drivers side and go up the snorkel. the wiring at the top i temporary as i am getting a new light bar when Craddocks decide to deliver it!

As promised....

Now I have drawn it out iot seems a lot easier than I remember.....but these things are never easy and it just depends on how and where you want to run the wiring. I also did the calculations to ensure I had the right diameter wire....I know it's a bit sad but better to bbe safe than sure.

Why's it sad? It's the sensible and only option IMO. At least it proves you have a brain unlike many!

Nice work by the way. Thumbs Up $W33T $0U7H3RN $UG4R

Good job with those lights. There is nothing quite so satisfying knowing you have done it properly... Thumbs Up
