SupporterI have put the two relays behind the LHS headlight as suggested above. I used the type with an integral mounting lug, and just a cable tie through this for mounting, this works well as it hold the relays "upright" meaning if there is any water ingress, they drain. Then the whole relay and plug base is taped and heat shrink wrapped.
Additionally, I eliminated the fog light, making this a second reversing light. Then I used the fog light circuit to switch a third relay, mounted with the above. This relay takes its active feed from the high beam switched circuit, and feeds my driving lights. This allows the fog light dash switch to become a very OEM appearance driving light switch, without my even needing to access the dash panel, i.e. without much effort. I picked up the fog light circuit under the driver's seat.
I have LED headlights and driving lights, so this works well. If using higher current conventional style lights, then a second high beam relay, one for the headlights and one for the driving lights, would be preferred.

I fitted the Traxide driving light loom back in 2014, added some LED spot driving lights onto the winch bar and fitted a couple of LED "globes" into the existing lights. Am really happy with the result although I am still unclear as to whether the LED headlight globes meet all Australian licencing guidelines. Have yet to be picked up on it so continue on.
Fitted the Traxide relays into a 6x4 waterproof junction box and mounted that to a bracket just inside the passenger side air intake cowl, its a fiddly fit in there but it allowed me to take the wires through the firewall on the passenger side and I found that easier for routing up under the dash than trying to come from the drivers side. Mine is a 2012 Puma, so others will be different. The junction box is fitted high up and easy to keep an eye on, or change out the relays, just not easy to mount in the first place.

Curious as to whats the point of doing the wiring upgrade then fitting led globes? Am assuming they have a much lower current draw

Hi Vern,
I fitted the loom first because I wanted to mount driving lights and upgrade the main headlights and thought it would cover all bases. Then when I saw how good the LED driving lights were I decided to fit LED "globes" to the main headlights as well. If I had come to that conclusion earlier, would still have had to fit new wiring and relays for the driving lights.
And I guess it gives you options down the track to go back to HID, headlights etc.
A weekend spent in the shed wiring a Landy is better than doing chores around the house..! Maybe

SupporterHi Mark
Where did you take the feed for the drivers side reversing light from? An additional wire from the LHS or ...?

I'll have a go at it, may take a day or two.

Tucked up the rear right hand corner is a plug for the trailer loom.
This where I picked up my reverse light feed.

SupporterMy car has a trailer plug fitted so I will track back from that and see what I find, currently fitting a Rijidij rear wheel carrier so I might as well do this little job at the same time.
Cheers

SubscriberHere's how I did mine:
Alasdair, the MY16 Keswick 110
I also put them under the blank air intake as I was concerned about accessing the fuses.
Cheers,
Jon
