Didn't you have another way of turning on the spotties without the high beams... ? Have the schematic somewhere on my pc not easily found in all the por... err other files :/

Ahh that diagram! Yep got it. That was originally done for reversing-rear work lights but was adopted for LED's up the front for the same purpose. I have two switches, one to turn them on/off with high beam, the other to override that and turn them.on whenever. Its only hand drawn but hope it helps.

And some relays may "buzz" when fed from the pulsed high beam circuit. Its been discussed in some depth in other threads so I'll leave it there.

If it does, you know what the issue is.

Diodes, if I'm not mistaken. They allow current to only pass one way through them.

Thanks guys
What about globe upgrades without going to LEDs?
What works and what doesn't!
What can be used without upgrading the original wiring or housings?
