mbayley77 0 Posted September 13, 2006 I have a set of RING rally giant spot lights whihc i want to stick on my rally car but am after the best way of wiring them in. I am guessing a relay with an internal switch would be sensible? wheres the best place to get a decent live from? Also where have the rally boys mounted on there spots? Just the bumper seems a little flimsey. Any pics would be good showing brackets etc. The spots just come with a bolt basically sticking out the bottom. cheers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest cknotty Posted September 14, 2006 I'm using Cibie Oscar Plus's on my road rally car. These are mounted on the bumper, which has been fine, as long as you use a set of stay bars (wobble like hell otherwise ) These have been bolted through the grille to the underside of the slam panel, which saves me drilling through the bonnet (and taking the stay bars off every time I have to open the bonnet). Power to the spots is a relay mounted by the slam panel, next to the battery with a direct feed from the battery (fused, of course). I then have an illuminated switch mounted next to the clock, where the cigarette lighter/tray was. piccy IIRC, you can get a complete Ring wiring kit from Halfrauds and the like, which will have everything you need Hope this helps Chris Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mbayley77 0 Posted September 14, 2006 Thanks for the reply exactly what i needed. I have loads of relays etc so will wire something up but your answer as to the stay bars and where they are mounted too is excellent. i know what i am doing tomorrow now Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Smartshark Posted September 14, 2006 (edited) If you really want to ensure a belt and braces approach have a separate feed and relay for each spot light with them both been triggered off the same source. Then if one fails or shorts you only loose one light. We have also relayed our headlights separately on our road rally cars in the past and will employ this set up on Lombard Revival later this year. No loss of power in old wiring looms and protects each light separately. OTT but has worked for us. Edited September 14, 2006 by Smartshark Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SPGTi 2 Posted September 15, 2006 This is how I wired mine in using a on/off/on switch so that I still have std driving lights if needed. Basically I can have main beam only, main beam +std driving lights, main beam +spots. Steve Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
