Was wondering if my sidelights could be disconnected from the headlight switch and wired to the foglight button? And could i leave block connectors or something in place so that it could be easily reverted back to the origonal set-up?

Re: Sidelights
Just splice a rocker switch into the sidelights circuit
If it doesn't fit,
force it,
If it breaks,
It needed replacing anyway

Re: Sidelights
Good idea, so i could put a switch near the headlight switch and spice it in to the wires just behind the headlight switch in theory? Would it be legal?johnny wrote:Just splice a rocker switch into the sidelights circuit

Re: Sidelights
Yeah my fogs are spliced into the sidelights circuit to a rocker switch on the dash
I spliced in at the light purely because I couldn't be assed to find the wire at the dash

Re: Sidelights
So do your sidelights turn on and off with the rocker switch? Sorry im such a noob with wiring i really need to learn this stuff

Re: Sidelights
No because I only spliced one in and joined the circuit again
But you have to cut the wire and put a wire at each end and then each end of that wire to a switch
I'll draw you a diagram, it won't be pretty but it'll give you an idea

Re: Sidelights
Right it may confuse you more but anyway
The first bit I didn't mean to draw, I kind of forgot what I was doing but the purple line just shows that you cut it
But the second bit is what you should end up with, MSW is your light switch and the green is the old wire and purple is the New wires that you will put in then in to the rocker switch
