Were to tap the high beam headlight cable

Hi there.
My last question before to go...

I have a doubt about were is more easy to tap the high beam head light cable to connect the roof rack auxiliary beams. Any thoughts?

Cheers

Land Rover kit is via the back of the instrument cluster:

Using one of these

, connect your trigger wire to Blue/Orange wire (or Blue/Slate wirwe for LHD)

I picked it up from behind the headllight as it's an easy place to get to the wiring. From there you can run a wire to the battery box and fit the relays in there. To get the wires to the dash, go out through the battery box and then up by the seat, then under the carpet and pull it up the dash using a piece of wire.

Keeps the buldhead water tight. Hope that helps.

They really aren't...but it's a really common (mainly on LR forums) miss conception!

I would say you shouldn't use them in really harsh external environments with no protection...and I wouldn't run huge voltages through them. Also there are other ways to join wires

But 12 years on and those I've used is fine

My preference is to tap the Blue/White wire from the back of the Dip/Main Beam Switch.

Also convenient, if you're using a dash mounted switch to isolate the driving lamps/roof rack lights, as you can easily put the switch in the trigger wire.
