I thought the switch looked different! My instructions were for an EB series one, not EF. Therefore the wire colours are all different. You should be able to figure it out easily enough with a multimeter. PM me if you need help, but you should be fine  |

Yeah cuz I went to go for it today but couldnt even find the green and orange headlight wire.
So whats the differnce betwqeen adn EB and EF? I assume the wires running to the relay are all the same and s**t so if I could get the EF version from anyone thanks. |

|
|
| Hey guys, i was just taking a read over everything you all wrote, me being a young ford boy, i havent got a clue in ANY of this, i bought myself some washer neons a few weeks ago, iv installed them on the hood, but havent got a clue how to do the electrical bits, a work mate said if i could get some wires through my firewall, then he could fit a switch for me, but i cant be bothered paying some auto electritian to do that, so how do i get the wires through the firewall? i own a 97 ford falcon GLI, and that firewall is sealed up REAL good! |

| not meaning to confuse the issue any futher, but if the lights are sizeable (both physically and wattage) you may want to consider a dual channel relay which basically has one fuse per light. this will allow you to pass more current through the relay to your lights (but only if your wiring is able to handle higher amps) |

Ive got two 100W hella 140's on the front of mine, with a 30 amp fuse I think? And i dont have any problem with those 
So it most likely wont be necessary. Shouldnt be needed as I dont think youre allowed anything higher than 100W. You can see the lights in my sig, on a custom bracket |

Yeah the lights are legal.
I was thinking about this on my way home from work a few hours ago. Why would I need to tap into the headlight wire? If I want complete control of them which is the aim then I can just run them straight to the switch cant I?
Now all I need to do is get the switch right and figure out which cable runs to what part of the switch. Any ideas? |

| the idea being that driving lights are legally only allowed to be on when high beam is on, and when on low beam, all driving/spot lights must be off, the only exception being foglights |

Yeah well I do believe 1 out 10 cars on the Roads these days might not know that! Cause I am always seeing them with their Driving lights on. So when are you allowed to have driving lights on ? Is just in Foggy conditions like ya say? |

there's the problem of the law existing and the law actually being enforced
technically the cops should be giving everyone a ticket if they have thier foglights on when unnecesary, but then the cops would be pulling people continuously
the other part of the problem is that the majority of the cars you see actually have fog lights, which have different regulations regarding switching, mounting, etc, but a lot of people install small driving lights as fog lights......
driving/spot lights= must only be able to be switched on when high beam is selected, and must be able to be independantly turned off while high beam is on, also must be austomatically turned off when low beam is selected |

I found on the net a while ago about the legality of foglights and driving lights. I can't remember the site but it went something like this.
Fog lights can be used any time of the day, providing they mounted low and are pointed down onto the road in front. The exception is yellow fog lights which can only be used during poor visablity conditions ie foggy.
Maximum wattage 55watts.
Driving lights or spot lights must be switched with the high beam switch and include a separate switch. The use of Driving lights in builtup areas is prohibited.
So it depends on the beam the light puts out, flood or spot, where you mount them, how you wire them up, and the colour of the lens.
Check my gallery for fog lights mounted into el front bar. these are wired as fog lights, they point down onto the road equal to lowbeam, and have only a 55watt globe. |

I intend to use the lights for a short period of time only when I need to see in the darkness oif the Hinterland near where I work. All I need to do is hook them up to the switch and that way I can control wether or not they are on.
I just need to know the wiring diagam for the switch does anyone know how the wiper works, cuz it seems to me that there is an on/off section that I need to tap into. |
