Thread: MY 14 Spotty wiring

There's a bit on the pick-up point here Andy.

D4 High Beam Wiring for Driving lights

I assume the D4 is negative earth which means "positive feed" to the lights?

Still to have a good ferret around mine and find a suitable access point between engine bay and passenger compartment to running wiring....

Cheers,

Make sure you check.According to our spannerman who also is a auto leccy they all vary despite being negative earth
The wiring accses point is under the brake reservior,large grommet I read,behind it is only sound deadener

I take it you meant positive or negative switched? I have no idea what LR's are ( I do know my old 80 series land cruiser was negative switched)

You are onto it!!!!
Spannerman drew a relay in the dirt,depending on the switching the relay is wired differently.
What also I need to know is where the high beam feed is with bi xenon lights.The globe is on constantly,it doesnt shift from hi to lo like a halogen globe,instead a shutter moves and changes the focus.Im assuming the feed to the shutter is whats used for the spotty switching.Awaiting brains trust advice.

Pretty sure they are still positive switched. My Vogue definitely is.

Has anybody wired their own spottys on a MY 14 with Bi-Xenons?????
Have all the gear ready to go just need the bullbar to bolt them on.
Thanks

I wired the spotties on mine. Not an MY14 but can't imagine that it'd be that much different. Does yours have "infill" lights in addition to the bi-Xenon's. If so, you can pick up the trigger power from the back of those.

All I did was use a voltage test light (there's one in the toolbag in the back of my car) on the wiring loom to the headlights until I found a wire that was live only when the high beam was on, and then tapped into that for the trigger wire.

From what I can work out Brian,highbeam is on all the time.The shutter moves in the light to give hi or low.No infil lights on the MY14.
