The roof rack is great the lights look fantastic, however the light dont work. I know roughly where the cabling needs to go but I would be grateull if some one could provide me with photos or diagrams to provide further direction!!! :) Cheers Jules FFRR 2003 and 64 Series 2a http://www.helpforheroes.org.uk/index.html http://www.poppy.org.uk/[font=Arial][/font][font=Arial][/font]

Group: Forum Member Posts: 101, Visits: 576	the cable that is connected to the lights runs down the side of the window (cos I put it there) and ends up where the windscreen wipers are (opposite side to the battery). Should it have gone dow the other side? The loom (already made up) seamed to be the perfect length for the drivers side. Rgds Jules PS as for the control box - nope! but I'm working on that ( :ermm: may even have a look next to the battery!!) :) FFRR 2003 and 64 Series 2a http://www.helpforheroes.org.uk/index.html http://www.poppy.org.uk/[font=Arial][/font][font=Arial][/font]

For my 110 I had to remake the loom to get the lights working. This is also what LR had to do. If there are no remnants of the original wiring you would be as well to follow the warn loom and extend it. The wires should come down the edges of the sreen pillars. There will probably be evidence of where they entered the engine bay. Miles of spaghetti. At least you have no snorkle to contend with.

I would suspect that your Range would've been equipped with the same. The only difference is that the Disco's were equipped with 3 sets of lights and the Range's were equipped with 2. The Disco's had a separate control to turn the lights on for the rack mounted lights and the winch mounted lights. These controllers are the OEM controllers that came with the Warn lights. The control box should have an 8 gauge wire running from the battery directly to it. Let me know if you have found the control box. Dan

Martin's DII does not have the control box, it just has a bunch of relays wired up instead, mine does have the box though. AFAIK Mark & Dave will be at Peterborough with their FFRR will have a look and see what theirs looks like and get some pics for you. Gert has some looms and switches that came from LR, they are the car side ones but not sure if they are the correct ones for yours, would be worth asking tho. Cheers, Mark S.

As I understand it the lights have to be capable of operating seperately from the main headlights anyway.

Mine are wired so that the switch is only live when full beam is on, I then have to turn the lights on using the Power switch. Once on I can press the mode switch to swap the beam. If I take the headlights off full beam then the lights are turned off again. Cheers, Mark S.

Will need to look at them to see how and where to supply power. Pictures still needed if poss - FFRR :) Cheers Jules FFRR 2003 and 64 Series 2a http://www.helpforheroes.org.uk/index.html http://www.poppy.org.uk/[font=Arial][/font][font=Arial][/font]
