Hi all,

Just wondering where you wire the spot lights up to. I'm thinking of getting two to put on the front, just wondering if it was just a straight link up to the full beam leaver?

Cheers

dnt quote me on this but i thought they hooked up to the fog light switch?

not directly tho through a relay or something

sure sum1 will come along with correct answer tho

No you can't wire into the existing full beam because it may overload the circuit and ultimately cause a fire.

All reputable mini parts specialists such as Minispares offer a Spot/Foglight wiring kit. It includes the wiring and a relay which you need to wire them in properly.

There is a diagram on here somewhere, I will let a more motivated (read as bored ) person insert it because I can't be bothered looking. If you buy the kit from minispares it comes with the diagram though.

You don't have to wire the flasher (blue in the picture) to the stalk though, you can stick a bullet connector on it and stick it directly into the bullet connector tucked up behind the grille, it'll be the white/blue wiring.

Cheers guys, taffy mate, you always come up with some awesome diagrams, you must have scanned your whole book collection into you computer to answer questions, cheers mate.

Thanks, but I've just picked stuff up on the forums, so I can provide answers to the most commonly asked questions. But I did scan the second two documents from my collection of old Mini Cooper Register magazines.

Plus it's bound to help me out one day too.
