DIY Sport Light@Fog Light

[hitz]

Dear all Sifu, I've just bought a pair of sport@fog light. Thought of having it to installed by myself. Just wanna ask some question.

1. Do I need to install relay?
2. How many relay do I need? 1 pair?
3. How to connect / diagram to connect to the relay?

Hope all the 0-100 Sifu can me into install in via DIY... ..

Thank all in advance... :D

actually u dun need a relay la ..... khguan taught me install without relay also good ma ...... as long u place the switch in a place that can see and has a LED turned on when the foglight is on then u will remember to switch it off when u turn off the car ..... u put relay damn "marr fan"

u dun need a relay as u have a direct switch to ON or OFF de spot lights... n to save all de hassle...

if u wanto use ur small lamp to control de spot lights.. then u will definitely need a relay....

make sure u have a FUSE connected at de power wire near to de battery for short circuit protection... a 15A or 20A fuse should be sufficient...

how about making a backet to fit the foglight? recently bought a set of hela but couldnt get them installed nicely cause the ferlow tell me go cut holes on my bumper and just screw the lamp on it , but i dont wanna spoilt my bumper by that wan .. was thinking is there a way to make a bracket to allow the fog light to be installed and take out whenever i want . rather than having it there all the time cause im only needing them when i go touge. anyone know any place that provide services and custom making brackets or maybe diy-ing it ..

I've attach the relay diagram. Anyone know how the wiring work on the relay? I gonna install it to a switch so it's not follow the small light. Izzit better to installed it with a relay for better? Safety? Hope Sifu's can help... Thank for all the reply.. :D

brackets? customised?? most ppl use steel band... with many holes..

yes... using a relay wil be safer if u are using high powered spotlights with low powered switch.... but most important thing is to have a FUSE

I've manage to find a diagram for the relay but not sure correct or not. Any Sifu know ar? Khguan thank for ur reply man.. .. Actually I thought of installed it like the way u said, but since I've the relay oredi might as well used it lor... ... Thank for your reply anyway.. ..

de diagram is correct already... pin 86 connect to small light +ve wire if u wanto control de spotlight with small light.... or connect to any +12V wire in de car with a switch...

Windz, if you dont want to poke holes in your bumper you could try it on your dashboard... hehehehe. Remove your tacho (if you have one) and replace it with the fog lamp. COOL...

Seriously, the only way to customise without poking any holes in your bumper would be a customise bracket from the radiator firewall. You could use similar concept to bicycle's quick release...

I have done this before but the lights are located behind the bumper instead of the front and well hidden so it does not look tht akward.

battery

boss,

wat is minimum size of battery to cater a hella sport light?
i'm afraid my stock battery cannot tahan if DIY with hella sport light.

 

[khguan]

this depends on de power rating or ur spotlights mah...

As long as your car's engine is running, it should be fine la
