i would just like to make an announcement...

that i have sucessfully wired up my new spotlights all by my lonesome !
YES, you read it.
ON MY VERY OWN.

i think this is the first mini thing i have actually done on my own (besides chainge oil, airfilter)

hooray.. i am not so dumb afterall!!

and betty looks HOT
even though one spottie is dimmer than the other one - i think it gives her character

will post a pic soon..

and thanks to h0nk for his diagrams hehehe

thanks for reading

great work! atleast you dont have a whole car to re-wire a head of you

Jeez girlfriend, you had me thinking all sorts of things with that kind of heading!!!

Regardless, congratulations with the wiring. I personally have a no wiring policy, as I'm sure my car would end up catching fire (I was staying in a hotel once that burnt to the ground )

he he he.. you are a dangerous man burning down buildings and such..

i will wire your car for you aussie
but it might take a few years to figure it all out..

it took me nearly 3 weeks just for spotlights

excelllent to hear!

I got scared you were going to tell them abgout our little announcement

heya...

kool kool about doing stuff by yourself.

mini's are a great place to start hey!!

Regards to one being brighter than the other, well, you maybe have wired them in series..what you want to do is wire them parallel to each other..for example..left wire to left wire of other spot light. the right wire to the right wire of other spotlight...then send those two pairs off to where ever they should go, be it earth or positive.
hmm sorry if thats not too clear.

later.

There are a few things tat it could be, but as you said CHARACTER. that is what the cars are about. Congrats on getting the wiring figured. i do electronic control gear for a living, so it is easy for me, but i wouldn't be able to rebuild a motor. so it is good that you got in there gave it a go and WON

Is there something we need to know?

No worries! Glad it worked, and just to let everyone know, she did a pro job with relay's fuse's and everything.. Not just a bodgy hook it up to the battery job.

Well done! had me worried there when you messaged me with your "Where does the ground wire go" question
