From what you are saying Atari I believe you would connect into the solid red wire that as per my pic is connected to the drive position on the headlight.

Would you also have the negative high beam switching wire as the one marked as ground on the light plug?


EDIT: missed this, yeah that sounds right

Quote:
FOR VEHICLES WITH NEGATIVE (-) HIGH BEAM SWITCHING
1. Remove the negative (-) cable of the battery to prevent short circuits.
2. Connect the relay to the 4 pole connector in the wiring harness.
3. Lay out the wiring loom in the engine bay and locate a convenient spot to install the relay.
4. Thread the red/white/black wires with the 3 pole connector into an existing grommet on the firewall and pull it inside the vehicle.
5. Connect the 3 pole connection harness to the switch harness inside the vehicle.
6. Secure the switch with double sided tape supplied.
7. Connect the 2amp fused red wire to constant positive (+) at headlamp using Quick Connect, and connect negative (-) black wire from the relay to negative (-) high beam switching wire on the headlamp. This wire may need to be extended. Insulate and protect connections with electrical tape.
8. Connect black wire from switching harness with ring terminal to bare metal earth.
9. Connect the relay harness to the terminals from the lamps.
10. Secure all the cables with cable ties.
11. Connect the ring terminal of the red wire with the 15amp fuse on the relay harness to the positive (+) terminal of the battery.
12. After Installation check for correct wiring and connect the negative (-) terminal of the battery.

I can see the light. Many thanks for the replies particularly Atari. Jaysus what a feeckin saga. The fused wire from the switch had to go on ground and the black one on the drive side. Ahhhhh.....I had been connecting the fused wire to the drive and the other to the ground as thats the way the bloody instructions red to my feeble mind. That link with the pictures made a massive difference thanks Atari and original poster.

I have one question remaining. There is still always a light on on the switch itself with all lights and ignition off. It would appear to be only a very small led in itself but should this be happening and is it in any way likely to bugger me battery.

Thanks again for the assistance and I apologise for any frustrations or fights that I may have caused. I'll pop up some pics in a minute to show yas how they look but in the driveway alone it is pretty bloody impressive!

to easy, glad you got it sorted without having to take it to a sparky. Armsup

i think the dimly lit LED can bet fixed with a diode or something, the draw from it would be very minimal & mine do it... i haven't bothered to look into it any further.
