I will have to look into going along 2 one of the clubs, but Thursday is my 5-a-side night!

I actually bought mine on ebay with the Wipacs but to be honest all you need is the relay. The rest are just standard wires and connectors, this kit would do you (just ignore the flick switch). You could probably buy the parts individually for less as you don't need the switch. I have the numbers to which wire has to connect to on the relay and its just a case of routing round the engine bay.

You might need a crimping tool (or just pliers ) to squeeze down the connectors.

The other things you would need is 2 ring terminals (one for the earth and one to connect to the battery) and a 'tap-wire splice' which splices the OS drivers light, like this:



The female quick connect terminals in the pack would be used to attach the actual spot lights (they just pop in). I would also suggest a few little rubber surrounds for the connectors just to protect from the water that gets into the engine bay.

I could have saved a packet if I had only known this before!
