    PROJECT 3A, New Driving light wiring up grade

    Hi folks, again at long, LONG last, like the headlight wiring upgrade kit, after receiving quite a few requests for the driving light wiring upgrade kit, I have finally got a new DRIVING LIGHT WIRING UPGRADE PROJECT just about ready to go.

    Again, the reason for posting this and the NEW HEADLIGHT WIRING PROJECT ahead of having the kit ready is because the chain stores BURSONS, have Philips Automotive Globes on special for this month ( MAY 06 ) at around 30% off and that makes these globes very competitive and as you may have gathered, I personally think the Philips globes are Superior to other brands. So if you are seriously thinking about doing an up grade and want to use the Philips globes, now is the time to buy.

    NOTE:- The last paragraph will be removed at the end of the month

    This one is based around a different type of relay that will dramatically reduce the complexity and installation time of a headlight upgrade.

    The diagrams bellow shows a much simpler layout for those wishing to up grade.

    There are two diagrams which are very similar, one is for a standard 2 driving light set up and the other is for a 4 driving light set up

    Although this project is designed to mate with PROJECT 1A, it can very easily be mated with any headlight set up.

    Went to Supacheap auto today to get relays and the only ones like those they had only had 5-pins (was missing the one the grey wire goes to).

    Are their 6-pin relays avail. elsewhere?

    Can the grey wire be earthed to the casing or elsewhere?(i assume its an earth wire)

    Hi QGBear, the relay in the diagram is actually a dual relay ( 2 in 1 ) with 2 fuse holders built in and I will be making the relay available through my web site in the next week or so.

    It will be about $20 and is being used because this one relay replaces 2 separate relays and the need for a separate multiple fuse holder and a considerable amount of wiring.

    The Grey wire can be taken to earth providing you have positive switched headlights.

    Cheers.

    Sorry wrong spot. I ment to say the dual relays with inbuilt fuse are great. Used them years ago on an old Dato.

    OK folks, I am just waiting for one more part and the kits will be ready ( HOPEFULLY be the end of the week ).

    I’ve edited the first page and posted some info on using crimp terminals for those not use to how these are fitted.

    Is there anything else that anybody would like posted or covered that they think could help fit a headlight kit to their vehicle.

    Cheers

    Hi Drivesafe

    I came across your projects while searching for wiring diagrams for spotlights. Best yet!

    I see from the photos that you have a Discovery 3 and my question is: Are you wiring diagrams suitable for the D3? I'm a bit lairy about breaking into the circuits with all the electronic gizmos and wizardry attached to modern Land Rovers but the LR OE harness and driving lights are way over the top in price and not up to much in performance.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Regards

    Bill Wright

    Hi Bill, none of my Headlight Wiring Upgrade Kits are designed to be used with a D3 but I can quickly come up with a suitable kit for you.

    With most electrical things being added to a D3, as long as they don’t tamper with existing wire looms, they should not cause any problems.

    It’s when you alter the D3’s wiring, that you can create problems, so with a driving light loom being an ADD ON, all should be well.

    Cheers.
