All finished
Well the switch arrived in today's post and I'm back on shift tomorrow so I got the job finished straight away. Installed the switch on the RH bar next to the switchgear, It looks just right and a good quality unit in solid Ali, also I opened up both units and flipped out the U2 chip to remove the annoying 3 mode setting, now they always power up in full power mode every time.
Result!!

Well done spanner monkey - a good job and, despite naysayers, lights work fine - looks like you can call yourself a dick too now

Well, I remain "fekked if I know".
I am half blind in the dark, despite a HID installed by the prev. owner.
Shall I spurt a few squid on these with a new switch and detonate the flasher chip?
GSaddict was behind me the other night (calm down, now) and was good enough. I didn't get a chance to see your's Grimm...

If you get some bring them to the next WM meeting - we'll have a session fitting them for you
When I installed my lights I used this item from eBay :
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/12V-fuseb...79c65ca&pid=100011&rk=1&rkt=8&sd=261812162063
It only becomes live when lights are switched on and powers a smaller set of running spot lights. Then I have an additional relay from the main beam that fires off a second set of larger led spots. The whole thing works great and no need for additional switches. Though my wiring is a bit of a mess, I need something tider to join all the earth wires etc.

Yep I am a bona fide 'dick' now and proud of it too
Thanks for that Steve, just ordered one.
Glad that you are happy with your lights.
I've got a couple of these if you're interested. Unused. Fiver each?

A tempting offer... might get round to ordering in that case.
LEDs
Last weekend the lights gave up the ghost, replaced them with these ones http://www.jaycar.com.au/Outdoors-&...proof-Mini-10W-Cree-Flood-Light-Pair/p/SL3938
Smaller and don't vibrate like the others did.
My 11 year old son had a brilliant idea on what to do with the old ones, will post a pic tomorrow.

The best LEDs I have found yet.
£69 for the pair, 1.2 kilos each (weigh less than the sun but are similar in output!)
Bought from [email protected]
They do a 7" version which knocks these into a cocked hat but I thought they were too big.

Now that IS a cool look. Very funny !
1.2Kg each?
Why so heavy?
They are a solid cast body, no plastic shite here sir.
They are mahoosive

Cast iron?
Nope, they are an alloy type material, but they are very solid with a big stainless bracket.
