Going back to the issue of the wiring of driving lights (via the main beam), on many previous vehicles, I have always traditionally wired these through a relay powered from the main beam circuit (feed taken off one of the headlights) with an override switch on the dash.

Not sure about the fets, when I switch full beam on, I can hear a relay click, so I think if you piggy backed the relay you should be fine. |

If my rr was anything to go by, the relays on pcbs looked like they had a base soldered to the board that the relay then plugged into . So may not be the worst to change if needed. |

if there is a conventional wire to the head light where I can tap a feed for the relay - surely then the old standard install will work using a separate standard relay. ? Take a power supply straight from the battery - earth / feed from headlamp and use this to trip the spots ? Any reason this will not work ? Disco 3 HSE Defender Puma 110 Freelander 2 HSE |

No reason at all why it won't work. Most sensible way to do it. I presume you are going to fit a fuse in the power straight off the battery? Personally I would take the earth back to the battery as well. I suggest you oversize the cables to minimise volt drop to the spots to ensure maximum brightness. |

Yes plan to keep the standard install fused relay etc etc. but the current draw will be low as I plan to use LED lights Disco 3 HSE

I'm currently part way through my Driving light installation. Just installed the brackets and part of the wiring loom (while the bumper was off). I expect to complete it this weekend (dependent on the weather) so I will post some pics and a wiring diagram ASAP.
