Hi All
I have a mate who has a set of spotlights he wants to wire up on his Hilux (current shape), I’m guessing they are 100 watt but not %100 sure. I was going to give him a hand but are not completely sure of how to go about it, so I thought I would turn to the professionals for some advice, The EO
Forum :-) ?
I didn’t really want to tap into his existing loom and thought we could set them up with their own independent switch on the dash, this is how
mine are set up and I like it. Sidewinder have a loom for $30 which Derek has said will fit the job, the instructions are however not aimed at setting the lights up independently . The
link shows the loom in question, sorry you have to zoom it about %300 to read, my print screen function doesn’t work.
Appreciate your
feedback.
Lyndon

I have just done this job on my 2010 Hilux, and yes, the Hilux has negative switching. Its not as simple as your normal spotlight wiring job, but certainly not difficult either.
I used a set of multimeters, a 30A relay and some patience, the job took about an hour and a half.
You certainly want to have the spotties connected to your high beam switch, and a separate isolator switch makes good sense too.
Give it a try and if you have any more specific questions, feel free to post them
