Hi all, my 2000 Rover Mini left the factory with wiring for only two spot lamps.

 

I would like to upgrade to four spot lamps but am unsure what wiring will be required.

 

Minisport sell this wiring harness for 4 genuine Rover lamps, but what would happen with my current wiring for the 2 lamps? Is it a matter of removing the current wiring and replacing it with this harness?

 

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, I'll message him.

Also, already checked. Unfortunately there are only the two connections.

Are you looking for 4 driving lamps or installing front fogs?

I'd suggest setting up a relay to allow large amps and take a feed from the power feed off the starter motor and trigger from the original, otherwise you'll be drawing too much from the standard wiring.

Not sure if it will help :) i used this wiring diagram to wire up my two spot lights but have seen it posted on other threads of people saying do this twice for 4 spot lamps not to overload the relay :)
