hmmm
in rewiring my foglights, my cd player refuses to turn on now. ive checked the fuse in the drivers kick panel and in the back of the cd unit, they're fine. there is also power running to the cd player (checked power wire with multimeter), and ive attached all the earths etc...
so i just don't get it. i think it did this before, but i can't remember what happened...
if someone could help me out, that'd be nice

for the foglights you mean?
its just a standard wire, im not 100% sure what it is... i got it from dick smith, told them my application and they said that it was the best wire... its just like normal wires behind the cd player 
but the earths and fuses are all fine, and its getting power, but i dont know
its just an entry level pioneer cd player too....

im guessing this has only happened after the rewire
in that case, what wire did you tap into for 12 volts?

Nah thats right.......
to tell the truth, i have wired it up this way and have a similar issue, my Headunit will be on but just mutes for a few seconds then comes back on.....
Its odd and something i havent got around to fixing yet.
The system is ground switching, so when you hit high beams the spotties will come on automatically.
Id say the answer is another power source, or a new ground and make the spotlights totally independant of the high beams....that will solve the issues.

the foglights (that ive rewired) are already independant of the high beams- i put them on, and the foggies don't come on, unless i flick the switch
(if thats what you mean  )

mounting holes are dodgey....the frame rusts over time
bolt it straight to the tranny tunnel or something similar if possible......or use some steel wool and make sure the mounting surface is paint and rust free.
