with the swicth you don't have to have 3 wires hook up to it one of the plugs is only for the led it does nothing else. |

Very simple to do, you just have to keep in mind that the switching for the lights is on the negative side of the circuit. The led switch just has two pins for switching the power and one for an earth, so the led works when you switch it on |

Damn that is why I love this forum(more like awesome community) armsup you guys only say what you mean. You would never see this level of cool on a Yank forum. (maybe if the interwebs was invented in 1969 lol) Never met a better bunch of people yet, on the interwebs or otherwise. |

thicker cable from where to where? on all of them or just the power from the battery to the relay then thicker from the relay to the lights?? |

| Post subject: | Re: Wiring help.. :/ |
The cables that are thicker in royce's diagram need to be thick enough to comfortably carry the spotlight current. 2.5mm squared cable should be plenty I would have thought... maybe 4mm on the cable from the battery to the relay... |

sweet, i can do this, also is there any reasons why i shouldnt be running 3 spotties from the one relay? and is it normal for the high beams to dim when i turn the spotties on? |

possibly overkill, but ive used 6mm (~4.5mm squared, or 50amp) for all of mine. but i worked out its less than 0.2V voltage loss. |

If the relay is designed to switch that sort of current, then its not a drama, but I'd probably run two. It's fairly normal, yes, especially at idle.... But if you give it say 2500rpm and the headlights still dim, then your alternator isn't keeping up with the load very well... Remember the electrical system in the zook wasn't designed to run 3 spotties... |

Do a search in Good Tech for Falcon alternator upgrade, you'll find everything you need to know
