LED AUX lights wiring question
 

I am having a problem with my AUX LED lights with an existing wiring loom.
Is it possible to wire them in directly to the high beam, and if so maybe a bit of info please.

Are you running them like Day Time Runnig Lights?

I just wired mine into the plate light power source on the back and the parking lights for the front.

They were only small bikevis bullets though so if you are using something more powerfull I dunno it that would be powerful enough for you.

Nope they are quite powerful LEDS and was running them off a toggle switch from a wiring loom supplied by Gas up lets go. I took everything apart and went over all the wiring to find that the toggle switch was faulty. I have now taken the blue wire from the toggle switch and wired it into the +ve for the high beam, all seems to be working can anyone tell me if I will run into problems later.

Really depends how much current they draw ??
A melted loom is not good, burnt out switch gear maybe
Your really best to drop a relay into the circuit
Earth relay
Switch to main beam

Positive to battery
Switched positive to lights

Or just get another switch from maplins, rs or the like

I don't really know how the GULG loom is set up, but I'd guess that the supply to the toggle switch (and then onto the lights) is switched by a relay and is protected by an inline fuse. Connecting the supply directly to the main beam will mean you now (possibly) have no separate fuse for your lamps? If your LED lamps are of the typical 10W design they'll be drawing around 1.5-2A which will be OK sharing a feed off the main beam. The lack of a fuse I'd see as more of an issue - fit an inline one, say 3A (but double check the lamp's current draw), just to be on the safe side.

Thanks for all the responses. I have decided to put in a new switch just to be on the safe side.
