Hi all,

Looking to add a pair of driving lights to my 1965 Plus 4...

I'm going to run an inline fuse, but I'm wondering where to draw 12V power from? I can run a wire directly from the battery - but that seems inelegant.

If anyone has any tips or a diagram, I'd appreciate it.

Glad to be back at TM...just bought this Plus 4...had a M3W (first gen new) a few years ago...

Driving lights should be wired up so as to extinguish when dip beam is selected.

I always wire them up through a switch and a relay.

Feed (to relay) is taken from the live side of the starter solenoid via a large ring termin

Sorry but that looks like a poor solution to a problem that doesn't exist to me.
