If you buy Prodrives driving light kit it comes with a two page diagram showing what to do on the switch and on the relay to do just this. It's been posted here a few times but I can't find it at the mo. Last time was about a month ago. Before that about Oct '02.

I can scan it and email it but not for a couple of days, where do you want it emailing?

Jasoon im a numpty when it comes electrics and I wouldnt know one end of a multimeter to another.Brun if you did a lot of fast road use at night round where I live you would understand why I want the extra light, all im doing is useing the fog light switch to arm the lights so I can have them on or off on main beam I hope thats answered your question.Chelspeed if you could send me the instructions that would be great.

Well I'm still none the wiser,chelspeed thanks for the instructions we have had a look with a tester and there is still a problem with colour codes etc with the wireing were the instructions you sent to jasoon for a classic or bugeye.In a numpty sort off a way I could do with a drawing in layman terms for the bugeye.???

It's bugeye, I used it on a MY02 STi (aka STi7) and it worked as it says, colour codes were right, just couldn't find the 33 way plug they talk about, but found another that worked as it says.

I've got a sketch I used to interpret the diagram, I'll scan that and mail it to Jasoon tonight if that would help.
