Im looking to wire up my spot lights but what fuse would i use to wire it up to the relay? i have the standard 4 fuses as pictured below but which one will i use to wire up my spots?

None of them, they can't take it. You need to create a new fused circuit from the main supply terminal at the solenoid. There are lots of threads here describing exactly how.

The operating side should be tapped off the blue/white main beam wiring, draw your power supply directly from the solenoid, where the other brown live feeds start. You can earth the operating coil via a switch to turn them off if you just need high beam.

 

Terminals:

30 - feed (solenoid)

85 - earth (via switch)

86- blue/white (high beam)

87 - to your spots

 

An addendum Dan would approve of: adding things to existing fused circuits can increase the risk of your electrics catching fire.

Mini Spares do a kit to wire them in properly:

Here you go, terminal 30 in the Minis case will be the brown feeds of the solenoid
