Fitting Spots

I fitted spots to my old TDi a few years back. I wired them into the headlight main beam circuit so they only came on with the 'brights'. Does anyone know which wire this might possibly be on the D3? I found the TDi equivalent in a Haynes manual. No longer a D3 owner but still subscribed to multiple threads!

Cheers.

Looks like my next daft question will be: how do I mount non-LR lamps e.g. KC Dayliters? Looked at the fitting instructions for the LR A-bar and LR lights and it appears they are separate, unlike on the old TDi, where the lights slotted into 2 holes in the middle of the A-bar. No longer a D3 owner but still subscribed to multiple threads!

Depends if you've got an A Bar or not? dickgriff has a nonstandard set mounted on his A-Bar - the mount points look easy to make a bracket to fit on to them. If you've no A-Bar I think you need to buy the mount brackets Steve N | 21MY Defender | 08MY Discovery 3 (history) | 06MY Discovery 3 (ancient history)

Nobby we just used the exisiting bracket that came with the lights but changed the bolt size to fit the threaded receivers built into the A bar.

Not a helpful picture really Confused but shows how they looked after fitting

So there is some sort of mounting mechanism on the bar itself? No longer a D3 owner but still subscribed to multiple threads!

Yes ..it's designed more specifically for the LR spots ..each side has the receivers moulded into the rubber.. there are two bolt holes about an inch apart ...we just used one pair of bolt holes for the lightforce units. 21 year LR veteran > D2 GS 2003 > D3 S 2006 > D3 HSE 2009 > D4 HSE 2013 > D4 HSE 2015 > D5 HSE 2018 > DS HSE R-Dynamic P300e 2021

This should make it super clear...



The plastic block & bolts (shown on RH picture) comes with the LR Lamps but as DG said, the receiving holes for the bolts are built into the bar Steve N | 21MY Defender | 08MY Discovery 3 (history) | 06MY Discovery 3 (ancient history)

Nice. A pair of black KCs should fit very snugly. No longer a D3 owner but still subscribed to multiple threads!
