If you arent sure on what your doing, drop into your local auto elec and ask advice, you only need a few metres of cable and some relays and a switch.

its quite simple to do but if your not electronically minded at all then might not be a good idea to do it yourself

im 80% sure on going it right but its the best way 2 learn. if i ask enough ppl 99% of the time i get it right in the end. and also if i do it myself, if anything eva goes wrong i can fix it myself or help others.

Its fairly simple. i have a wiring diagram that you can use, otherwise i can help make a loom for you that will upgrade your std headlights as well.

Hi gumtree, here’s some diagrams of both for a headlight wiring upgrade and a driving light wiring upgrade.

You can use the diagrams as a guide or we now have these as kits and if you follow the diagrams you won’t need any auto electrical experience, whether you get a kit or do it yourself.

best zuk lighting mod is the above setup with the headlight upgrade.
I got a narva headlight kit to change from the standard sealed lights to semi sealed and then did the relay thing and the difference is amazing.
You could almost get away without spotlights, my lightforce only add a bit more distance when on.

I agree with above, I recently installed 6mm wiring for headlights with some new inserts and the increase is amazing. Cost stuff all too :D
