    +12v supply under bonnet

    OK, silly question, where does one locate a suitable 12v supply for a set of driving lights under the bonnet of a L494? I've found a couple of posts referencing the wire for the high beam sense but looking around, there is no obvious spot to get +12 volts from. I'm assuming that a suitable earth stud needs to be found for the negative as well.

    Any help appreciated

    Regards,

    The next question I'll ask is how to get a feed for the bull lights on the roof rack Some of us venture beyond the wilds of the Tuggeranong parkway after dark.....

    Can you use the jump start posts for the driving light power & then find a high beam wire to trigger the relay?

    That's currently one of my contenders, the other is the fuse box buried under the plastic at the front of the windscreen. I found someone on a forum the other night that suggested the Jump start terminals.
