Finished me switch install...
... now, Jj, can you please tell me, why the LED light doesn't work on the switch for the spotties?
It never worked on the old switch, and it doesn't work on this new switch either.  I'm assuming it's got something to do with the switching of the relay. There is no power for the LED.
Upon testing the switches, with a power supply before install, all was good, so I know the switches are good, mate. And the LEDs work for the switches, just the spotties doesn't, which has it's own feed.
PS... I'm using one of your headlight harnesses, with the spotlights added. (which is da bomb, I might add) 
Thanks

It's not so much a difficult job, as a painstaking one. [emoji12]
The visor will prise apart.
Actually, I found a video after I did mine. I'll try to find it for you.
I left the original fabric on, for bulk and padding....

Ok Bruggz, the reason why the LED's aren't working is the LED in the switch is designed to work with a switch +12v feed, the headlight loom driving light trigger is a negative, to get this to work you'll need to have the switch operate a relay (connected to +12v) with the relay's contact in place of the switch in the headlight loom, so in essense the relay replicates the normal switch but allows the switch to operate with +12v and in turn allow the LED to operate as it's intended...
Does this make sense?

I think so Jj. In other words, install another relay to switch the current relay. ??
The new relay replaces my current switch. BUT, I use my switch to activate the new relay using +12v.?
