    DIY Driving Light Loom

    Hi All,

    I've got some driving lights I need to wire up. I see 'driving light looms' available from SuperCheap or Autobarn for ~$120.

    These kits seem expensive, I'm just wondering... is there anything special in one of these loom kits that I couldn't just do with some good cable and a couple of relay's?

    Am I over simplifying this or have I missed something?

    No your not missing anything, it is just a relay and some wire (plus spade terminals, switch and maybe a fuse.) If you know how to do it, it's very easy, I knock them up all the time. The one you buy are just for convenience and rely on people not knowing what to do. If your a bit handy you should not have a problem.
    Cheers, David.

    If you are handy, use the right gear, and know what you are doing, you will end up just as good.

    Thumbs up

    The ones they sell don't fit very well in a 110. You would have to take the light socket off to get it into the headlight area/box.
    I used 6mm wire on mine (overkill?)
    When you do them, throw a sheet over the bar and take a before and after photo. It is amazing how much brighter the lights are.

    I solved to OP's problem by purchasing a headlight and driving light kit from Traxide.
    I have already fitted the headlight kit but have since fitted the new bullbar and am looking for driving lights.
    My question to all is what have you done for a driving lights switch in the cockpit?
    Is a there a switch from LR one can fit into one of the blank positions in the dash?

    Cheers,
