Hi Brad and Towe.
Thankyou both for your replies.
First thing was to check the globes as Brad suggested, and they are fine.
Second thing was to check the aim, up/down & left/right on both headlights. The left/right is ok. and the up/down are both a bit down, but even. Looking at the car standing on dead flat pavement from side on, and having checked all the tyre pressures, I think the front may be down a bit. Is there a measurement for front and rear standing heights so I can check ? The suspension seems OK otherwise. The front shocks seem to be OK, but the car has done 120k so I suppose it is possible the front springs may have sagged a bit. Anyway, I haven't touched anything yet, but I suppose I could wind the vertical adjuster up a turn or two.
Regarding the light bar in the photo, question are, what does it bolt to underneath, what is it called exactly, where can I get one, and what does one cost ?
Regarding relays and switching, I know that the driving light relays have to be switched by the high beam circuit, but the question is, where best to break into the wireing to do it, and where to feed the switch wire(s) through the firewall to the switch inside. The same question applies to the fog lights, although I would not be using couloured ones. I have some genuine old Cibie Fogs that I had on my old car, and I will use them. They have to be switched though the high beam switch as well, but not at the same time as the spotties obviously.
The next problem, is alternator capacity. I can't see the model number on the thing being behind the engine, and I can't find the specs for it, so a little worried that putting on a couple of 100 watt driving lights might cause problems with the battery, since I plan on doing some long country runs at night where the lights would be heavily used about 4 hours at a stretch (dipped for the odd oncoming car/truckie obviously). Do either of you guys know how many amps at what revs etc, or alternator make and model number so I can look the specs up ? Following from that, I was wondering if there is a bigger alternator available anyway ?
Thanks.
