Hiya everybody and compliments of the season to one and all.

Mrs Rodney gave me a set of 100 watt driving lights for Ribena - care of the fat fella in the red suit. WHOA......are they ever bright!!!!!

Think I've wired them up a bit wrong though. They only come on if the head lights are on high beam - correct. Dip the head lights and the driving lights stay on - WRONG - they should go off!!!!!

Is the power supply to high beams blue with a red trace or blue with a white trace????

I've got them running through a seperate switch of course and with a relay. Dont want to flatten the battery every time I turn them on

Hooroo

Thanks guys for your help.

Pretty sure I used the blue/white wire but I will check. Here's a Thought.........they would come on with the dipped head lights if I had connected them wrong I do believe.......

yep makka, they're working exactly as you say. I have them on a secondary switch to isolate - plus running thru. a relay.

Hooroo

Cheers Makka. Dylan is driving Ribena to work at the moment as I am on hols, so I have not had the opportunity to check things out. I'll find another "earth" and see if that makes a difference to how they operate.

Thanks again.
