Re: wiring spot/driving lights
OK, I've had a look at the Series 1 setup to see if it is as easy as AKAK9's post... and I'm hitting brick walls (but this could be just me)
First brick wall: In the rear relay holder, there is only one relay socket base and that indicates that it is for a rear fog lamp (bonus if I want to install that later)
Second brick wall: There is no brown relay block in the lower section of the dash. Having studied the service manual, this block may be up higher, around the height of the driver side glove box. Question being, does this whole section of dash come out easily? The very bottom bit is fine, but, and I guess you could call it the middle dash, looks tricky.
Now this service manual seems to indicate that there are no existing relays for the lights. It shows that there is just a connection from the combination switch straight to the headlamps. The size of the wiring to the headlamps is suprising, very low grade... for another thread: increasing the output of the lights could be done by increasing the size of the wires and by installing relays.
So I get the feeling I am going to need to do the hard yards to install my driving lights... that is; find the wire from the high beam switch, take a point from this and install a new switch for the spotlights, run the other side of that switch through the firewall to a relay that I locate within the spare spaces in the relay holder and wire the lights from there.
As I said, maybe it's just me missing some vital useful bit of information or perhaps I'm just a bit slow. So has anyone actually wired up a series 1 without too many dramas that would like to share?
