    Spot lights

    Hi there, just wanting to know when you wire up spot lights do you use a relay for each light or 1 relay for both ?
    Cheers

    Yep just one relay for the pair will be fine. Make sure you wire them up to your high beams to please the coppers.

    You can get a on/on switch or a on/off/on switch and wire it up so when the switch is in one position the spot lights will only work when the high beam is on and in the other position they will work independently.

    If you're going to wire them to use as work lights, you might want to wiring them to your Aux battery.

    Some relays (sold as spot light relays) have two terminals so you can run a wire from each spotty to the relay.

    In NSW they have to be on only with the High Beam and an on / off switch on the dash for rego pink slips.

    You guys dont get the pink slips down in Vic, so might get away with it. Untill a copper decides to go over the vehicle.

    On the roof as threedogs said and not necasarily pointing forward may fit the work light description.

    Frying a copper before you can turn them off might get you some unwanted attention.

    The suck some amps so the idea of putting them on the aux battery is a good one too.
    Cheers

    I have 7 spotties, 2 on the bar and 5 on the roof rack. All turn on under high beam and can be switched off under high beam. I also have a separate switch for the 5 roof spotties to work with the car off, wires running to the aux battery
