Of interest is that there is provision in the PDB for aftermarket Spotlights, using a fuse location in the box, and triggered by the factory Hi Beam Relay. Because I am constantly befuddled by the order in which multiple images show, I'll do one image per post. The first image is of the PDB in my BA XR8. Circled is the unused fuse location, right next to the Hi Beam fuses for the LH and RH globes.

This is the same image identifying the supply run from the top.

You can see it's just a solid bar. The bar is supplied direct from the Hi Beam relay, which you can see a little to the left.

Then insert an appropriate sized fuse and bing, you're done.
