Hi there -
I changed the spotties fomr our 80s Landcruiser over to the newer 100 series. and the spotties from the 100series went on to the 80series.
I can't get the new set on the 100series to work. But they work back on the other car.
Any thoughts?
Dave B.

it was always quite straight forward once...all you did ...(as you most likely know) is to find the high beam at the headlights (usually always a + feed) and route through the dash switch to the relay.
These days some vehicles use a - switching for high beam...if yours does then maybe you have that issue?......and as a consequence you are switching / joining two negatives?...a friend had that very same problem last week on his vehicle...and after much brain scratching that was the issue.
maybe find the wire at the rear of the headlights and with your multi meter
check that it is - or +........when activated
if so then a simple solution to re wire the relay accordingly......
that may help you
cheers
