I think if you use the other wire it wont work If that makes sence

That might be a good place to start mate! If I'm not getting power at 87pin then that could be a reason why! Cheers

Haha thats the plan mate!

A bit delayed on getting this sorted as I had a flat battery, then my headlight combination switch crapped itself... But finally got the Lightbar up and running!

The previous owner had wired in the spotlights with a connector clip that ran up from the headlights (one black wire, one red), for some reason he used a black wire to run the headlight +ve feed and a red wire as an earth (am I the only one who thinks this is retarded?)... I basically piggy backed the wrong wire, didn't test it like I should have done then spent a day re-wiring, and scratching my head until I noticed that. PITA but all sorted now and it's bright as!!

Thanks for the contributions guys, it helped narrow down what to test and made the process a lot quicker! Love this forum:bigthumbup:
