LR Spots
Need some help from you all....
Spent a few hours today installing LR spots onto my a-bar.
But theres a couple of sections on the LR fitting instructiosn that i don't understand/not doing right.
Fuse 19 - where is it? Is it to the left of the green fuse in the bottom rail of fuses, or is it to the right of the blue 15amp fuse in the top????
Where do you connect the negative terminal from the cable that goes to the lights to the negative of the battery? The supplied bolt doesn't fit the negative terminal
I have done all the other bits and pieces in the installation instructions, then i can see if it works
To the left of the blue on the top rail I know it's not considered "kind" to say no these days, but no. Just no, ok? And if it's not ok, still no.

Earth : Look to the left of the battery/fuse compartment on the body , in line with the FBH exhaust thingy.There is a bolt and nut with some wires already attached.

Wish I could take apic as my technical lingo is sparse to say the least
He's gone very quiet. Do you think he's sat there sucking on his burnt fingers with a melted multimeter on the driveway?I know it's not considered "kind" to say no these days, but no. Just no, ok? And if it's not ok, still no.

Ahh the wonders of L R fitting instructions. Sorry cant help
The raised air intake instructions, it tells you to drill a 7mm hole for the 9mmØ riv-nuts
I am thinking of another 'sticky' tread where we can place advise to help others when these inaccuracies occur
Now what shall we call it
LR Accessory Fitting Instructions How Its Done ProperlyIn the Beginning there was nothing, which exploded.
I nearly fell victim to the 7mm hole thing until looking on here. Wouldn't be a bad idea to have an "installation of popular accessories" section I know it's not considered "kind" to say no these days, but no. Just no, ok? And if it's not ok, still no.

Ok - thanks for all the help so far.
Have put fuse in - thanks ND
Found the earth bonding point to the left of the fusebox/battery and put cable onto the spare bolt there- thanks DW
No spot lights
Right who's got any idea about fault finding?
The switch on the dashboard lights up - so i know that is ok.
Just began to pi%% it down here, so i don't suppose i'll get a chance to do anything else today, but ideas would be welcome.
thanks

Doesn't the car have to be told the lights are their? IIRC this is a quick trip to the dealer to plug it in to the diagnostic system while pointing at the front of the car, yelling "Look, two effin' great lights!"I know it's not considered "kind" to say no these days, but no. Just no, ok? And if it's not ok, still no.
I think that's what you call a consensus Craig. I know it's not considered "kind" to say no these days, but no. Just no, ok? And if it's not ok, still no.
