Thread: D4 HSE. Fyrlyt Nemesis installation advice please.

Ok, it's hard to see...

I fitted one of these battery trays and mounted a plate on the left hand side.

Attachment 93335

I then made a quick bracket using some angle alloy and bolted the 2 units on.

Attachment 93336

Between the plate and the battery is 2 relays - 1 per light.

Wiring goes:
Battery to relay 1 & 2
Relays to + input on each transformer
Earth to stud just in front of air box
Then
+ output to light
- output to light

I used power poles to connect everything...

Fred,

If you get stuck, I can probably give you a hand, but it wont be until next week.

Unless, you would like to ring my wife, shed a few tears down the phone, and get me out of a whole weekend of Irish Dancing...

I have a Territory Turbo that would like a set of standard Fyrlyts

Hi Andy.

I'm no expert but if you look at the pdf's provided on the Fyrlyt website under the Tech heading I think you'll find that they are quite different.

Here's a link to the page.

Just what did you do to rate that penance ?

Martin

Many thanks Tombie. I have a bit more space than you, since I have my second battery mounted in the rear of the car. I agree with you that it must be better to use one of the earth posts rather than the negative battery terminal (as in the circuit diagram). I will make a bracket to support the transformers too unless I can find a nice flat place.

Now Basil135: It is kind of you to offer to help, but your wife rang earlier and said you were too busy. I hope you enjoy your dancing.

I mounted the transformers on either side of the radiator in my Vogue. There were two spots seemingly custom made for the install. I didn't even have to drill holes! I would assume a D4 is different though. You are welcome to have a look at a convenient time if it helps.

Thanks everyone.

I checked out the possibility of installing the transformers near the radiator, but there are no gaps suitable in a D4.

The transformers each measure 80mm x 140mm x 50mm which doesn't seem much until you try to find two big enough places to accommodate them. I reckon I've sorted it now though.

I have worked out a simple bracket design and found a place to secure it. I will source the materials and get cracking this weekend. Camera at the ready.

Lights installed and working beautifully. First flick of the switch.


These lights are bright. Colour is excellent. Really does make it seem like day time out there in front of the car. I will play around with the spread/spot settings and work on the alignment, but really they are pretty good already.


It is still dark under the bonnet so I will defer the pictures of my handiwork 'til tomorrow. Installation went pretty well even if I say so myself.
