i wonder where i got my info from

Mabe i just suck at searching, lol. but i did look!
those diagrams are great, thanks!

The pics are great guys, keep em comeing


Cap'n crunch - do you find that your fog lights get chipped and cracked being that low, or are they ok?


Thanks, chris

Had them for about 4 months now and have not been a problem, I always use the covers if they are not being used. And the clearence is fine as they are no lower than the number plate. Even without covers i think you would be ok as long as you keep a normal distance from the car in front.

Thanks again

One wiring kit should be ample for four spots, you'll need to check the rating of the relay and the wire contained in the kit.

Use the triangle...

.P
IV

P= Power in Watts, usually driving lights are 55Watts..
I= current in Amps
V = Voltage, obviously around 12V.

So you can work out 'I' by dividing the Power by the Voltage, and whatever result you get as long as it's less than the rating of the relay, wiring and (hopefully ) the fuse then you should be alright.. don't just go swapping for a higher fuse though if the wiring isn't good enough i.e. 30Amp if the wiring is only rated at 25... because the wiring will burn before the fuse

For example, using the above formula to power four 55W lights...

4 x 55W = 220W.
220W/12V = 18.3Amps.

So in this case it would be 20Amp or 25Amp fuse, along with wiring and a relay rated ABOVE the fuse i.e. 30 or 35 Amps.

Please do it the right way because you could end up with a ball of flames if you aren't careful

Hope this helps?

That is a great guide. And a great help. Thanks.

Thanks (again)

Ok, i found out that the angel eyes arnt road legal for anyone that was interested.

Does anyone know about that mounting bar?


Thanks

[M44K TS]

your link isn't working for the lamp bar

[Burnard]

Oh, sorry. It does work when you are signed into mini spares though.

Try this - Link - but it doesnt show how it fits, if you sign in and click where it says instructions, then it comes up with the link i first posted.

This is (if it works) the part i was worried about:





Its the mount point behind the grill, on the front panel.



Thanks


Chris


Edit: it works
