Your relay box is at the front of the engine bay on the passengers side.

Standing in front of the car looking at the relay box, the relay is at the back of the box, third from the left.

The wire you need to tap goes from that relay to the hi beam lights and is Yellow with a red stripe. (low beam is red with a yellow stripe).

Cut back the insulation on the high beam wire a run a wire from it to the relay that should have come with the spotties. Connect it to either side of the coil of the relay (marked 85 and 86 usually).

If you want to have an isolation switch run a wire from the other side of the coil of the relay into the cabin, thru a switch and to earth (any metal point). If you dont need a switch just run a wire to earth

Run a wire from the positive battery terminal thru a fuse (15 - 20 amp for 2 X 100W) to either of the contacts of the relay (usually marked 30 and 87). Run a wire from the other contact to the driving lights (to the wire that goes to the bulb). The other side of the driving light goes to earth.

Gimme a yell if you need more info.

DO NOT handle the bulbs with your bare hands. If you must touch them use a clean tissue.

Hope that helps:D
