wiring driving lights

quick question here . wheres a good place to pick up a feed from for the wire that feeds into the relay, without running the whole length of the bus ..

thank you

 

ermmm fuse box?
soz Nige couldn't resist.

 

tried yesterday with connection to the fuse that feeds the head lamp , and for some strange reason the fuse blew and the heater fan came on with the other headlight , (as each head lamp has its own fuse , so you dont get left completly in the dark )

i can't see why you blew the fuse and had grief? i just find a permanent live and bob's yer uncle

 

whs ^^^ remove the fuse box and connect the relay feed wire (terminal 30) to a spare permanent live spade connector on the fuse board (look for a thick red wire this is the power wire from the battery) if there isnt one use a piggy back spade on you new relay feed wire

 

OK thanks every one its just what i was thinking but needed a confirmation

 

I wire mine up taking feeds from the fused side of the fuse box. The main feed is taken from the sidelight circuit so they only come on when the sidelights are. No point having them on in the daytime when they have covers on

 

there is a spare permanent 12v terminal on the headlight switch. this will be fused and no need to run wires accross the bus
