Spotlight Wiring HELP! Please

[The Lang-Shankit Scunner]

I know this has been covered before but cant find ref to what i want to do. I have 2 lardge spots from chillit, and they are very bright, i wired one into a switch, and it responded really well, and very bright, but when i paralleled the second light, they came on slowly, and slightly dimmer (still v bright) how can i wire both up so that they react quickly as it did with just one, or do i need two seperate switches for them?

Thankyou Everyone

How would i go about finding the ampage of ma spots? theyre quite old you see.

Had spotlight issues last week, fitted one light to a truck, worked fine, fitted the other and both went dim, along with the headlights!!

After 5mins of head scratching, I discovered the N/S battery I'd left in the truck was bad, and it went flat while I was testing the first light.

Doh!

Thanks tony, my batts are fine, so thats that outta the way, i think its the relay issue for me, as long as i get the right relay it should be the end o my probs. Anyone know which one i need or what amps i need?

On the diagram, there are the numbers 30, 87, 85, 86, is this the same for all or what? Im sorry im ignorant where relays are concerned

from what i can remember, the numbers on the old mondeo relay matched the diagram's, but i think i just went through the old trial and error process.

I thankyou, im imagining that a 20 - 25 amp relay and wires should do the trick.

What you think?

I used a Sanyo marked 30a 12dc
15a 24dc

not sure, but for some reason my memory's saying 25-30.

you sure there's nothing on the spots you got, maybe stamped onto the lens itself?

Yeah, you should find these on all relays, 85 and 86 work the coil and 30 and 87 load switch.
