stuntman Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 Hello everyone, just a quick question. Has anyone got a diagram for a spot light relay. I've wired up 4 Wipac 8" spot on the roof and 2 on the front. I also have 4 of the small wipacs under the front of the rack as a light bar. I will be using a relay for every 2 wipacs. I have run a medium weight power cable in a 'daisy chain' fashion to each pair of 8" wipacs. All are earthed properly. I have a fused power lead to each relay . I also have a switch wired in and a wire run to the relay. So I have the following wires. power to lamp power from battery earth for relay switch wire. Can anyone please help with these issues, and help out with a diagram for the relay? Thanks in advance. Andi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes & could cause you no end of wiring problems due to overheating, any additional lighting is best switched through a relay, this way the existing wiring loom has a easy & safe life with no extral loading passing through.

Stanleytd5 Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 Would wiring them straight to the headlights, with no additional relays, put to much load on the existing wiring? yes, the wipacs are 100w each, and there are 2, i think it would over load the circuit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
