First problem would be that there arent too many spotlights on the market which use the h4 globe setup. If by chance your's are h4, and they already have the wiring for high and low, then lucky you. Relay on and normal switch between the two. But for a spotlight you will probably only need the highbeam anyway, so switching wont matter?
Cheers

you need to get the resistor that some ebay companys sell, does the high beam light work? there is a resistor unit out that will fix the problem.

The resistor didn't fix the problem I bought another one to see if the one I got was faulty

have you asked Matt at ThumpaInc?
surely he'd know.
you'd have to get on the Patrol forum to get in contact with him.

I had the same problem when i fitted hid kits to the HI?LO and Hi beam no spot light working and no light on the dsah when hibeam on, found a load module on ebay freom a company called NEWPRO_TECH in NSW its called a H$-Bi Xenon HID load module in you put in H4 HID Conversion kits they usually come up first $19-95 plus postage just plug it into the original and now spare hi/lo plug and all is good dont do what i did a plug it into the arb upgrade loom that i had fitted a while back. now dash light works and the spotlights now work aswell only problem is now i have 4 nice white hid's the spots look crap arewell a good excuse to now upgrade them too
