Re: wiring spot/driving lights
What Xtrail do you have apache7 ?
I may be able to post an extract from the service manual showing you where the relay goes and what the wiring for it is.

Re: wiring spot/driving lights
I'm looking to install some Narva Ultima 175 driving lights on my exy over xmas holidays, but am not sure whether to go with a ready made "plug 'n' play" wiring loom (expensive but easy), or buy the components and make it all up myself (cheap but fiddley). In order to decide, I need to better understand what is required.
READY MADE WIRING LOOMS
----------------------------------
From what I've read, the Piranha (standard $70) and Nissan ($150) ready made wiring looms plug straight into existing wiring, without any need to fiddle around. But don't you still have to manually connect into the high beam wire? I believe neither one of these looms comes with a panel mount switch to fit down near the electric mirror controls. These are about $15-20 extra. Will these looms fit any kind of lights (ie. Narva Ultima's)? Does anyone have experience with the Narva ready made loom ($118)?
MAKING A WIRING LOOM
---------------------------------
Does anyone have a simple circuit diagram that shows what is required (the dummies guide, with pictures)? I'd also be interested in a list of materials required, as I don't intend to have a good look at the situation until xmas, when it will be difficult to find parts shops open if I discover I need anything else. Is there soldering required, or simply crushing spade connectors etc? As I would have to go and purchase a soldering iron specifically.
Apologise if parts of this has been covered previously, but it may be worthwhile bringing it all together for the benefit of the next person as well.
Thanks people.
