fitting driving lamps
Folks
Got me self a nice pair of LR Safari 5000's (like I had on my TD5), as I think the genuine D3 driving lights are a bit, well, girly
I'll sort out mounting so that the grill can still be removed, and I was intending connecting using the "old fashioned" way of a relay and trigger this from a feed linked to the main beam feed. With all the electrickery in this thing, is there any issue/problem in doing it this way.
Cheers

Yep, that's pretty much it, jus be aware that the wiring diagram on GTR that I got the wiring colours from appears to be transposed in real life think its due to the LHD/RHD differences... there's only one of either colour on each side so you should be OK

thanks chaps - should have looked for a thread first - sorry.
Just one question, in the past, I've never bothered with the switch, so that the driving lamps always come on with main beam. Is this not allowed now, as I dont really want to be running wires through bulkheads or finding places for switches.

Al, as mentioned, there should be a switch to comply with construction & use regs, it's possible to use the LR switch kit (DG knows the part number) without having to buy the LR wiring loom or needing the dealer to activate the software in the CJB... It also saves getting grief from plod
