I've got spots wired in to a separate switch which will only work with the dipped beams.

Is that what you're looking for? If so, let me know and I'll see if I can get you info on the cabling.

All I've got at hand is a picture of the wiring on the back of the relay.

I wont have access to the Jim until tonight.

Let me know if it could be of any help.

On your relay, pin 86 to 12v. Pin 85 to earth side of your main beam as the jimny is Negative switched. Pin 87 to 12v. and pin 30 to the postive of your lights.

If you were to splice into any red wire on the jimny then anything you plug into there will be on permanently as the power is always on, suzuki decided to put the switches in the negative side of the wiring.

but if you wire a live to the spot light and then the earth to the back of the head light on of the lives goes to an earth but its a bit of a bodge way to do it iv just fited 6 spots on mine run through 3 relays 4 at the front 2 at rear as work lights and soon to be fitting a light in the back running of a pin switch on the rear door but still scratching my head at the mo on how i want to do it
