Thread: Spotlight wiring.

I would get one of drivesafes kits if your budget allows, not very expensive and as said a great improvement.

You've reminded me, I had an email sometime ago from drivesafe with the instructions as to how to buy that kit.
So I'll do that although my headlights are pretty good as they've got some Fatboy (or something) globes in and are far brighter than normal.
Thanks for the replies.

Hi Guys,

This doesnt appear to be listed on the traxside site at moment (just checked)?

Question for you though. I'm ok with my hands, and will have a go at most things (welding, carpentry, whatever) and do ok. For some reason though I cant seem to get electronics to make sense in my head. Are the instructions in the traxside/Drivesafe kits simple enough that I'll be able to do it? Ie, I have no problem connected red wire to blue wire cleanly (no dry joints etc) if I know thats what I should be connecting. However, understanding why i'm connected the red to the blue, but not to the green or even the pink with purple strip seems to be beyond me. Are the instructions that simple?

Its damn annoying to be honest, I've hit the books a few times to try and wrap my head around, and it just doesnt seem to work... Damn brain.

The real irony.. my dads an electronics technician (old school type)...

And yes, I know I could get him to do it, but i'd rather do it myself in the hope something will sink in...

cheers

Dave

Hi Dave, sorry about the lack of info on the traxide site, there are a number of new kits either ready or available soon, I have just been so busy that I have not had time to put them up on my web site yet.

All my kits are designed to be installed by anyone who can read instruction, without having to know ANYTHING about vehicle electrics.

In the case of the Headlight Wiring Upgrade Kits, because there are so many wires, all are different colours and the instructions lay out the procedure for installing each individual wire by it’s colour.

You won’t even need a multi meter as the kits come with two pre-wired sockets to fit to your headlight globes and a special three pin plug that connects to one of your existing headlight sockets and removes the need for you to have to try to find which wire goes where, it’s all done in for you.

Cheers.

BTW keep an eye on the AULRO Verandah Section as I intend to post a fair bit there, very soon.

Good to hear it's a simple and easy kit to understand Drivesafe as I'm one of those electrical ignoramouses that can always find a way to stuff things up, blow fuses etc!
Looking forward to getting the kit and if I get hopelessly stuck it can wait for my son to come home as he's good at that sort of thing.

Alan,
The kit is very easy, hardest choice is deciding on a mounting location for the relay's and threading wiring through bulkheads etc.
I ended up using the diagrams more than the written instructions as the diagrams are simple and for me make more sense.

Craig and I have done a good job of ours,SO ANYBODY SHOULD BE ABLE
EXTREMELY EASY instructions to follow,top quality fittings supplied too.
