You would be better off to run wires to the battery , put in a fuse, and put in a switch for these. Depending on the year. Switches, relays,wiring, and fuses in the newer years can not carry this extra type of load. They will eventually burn out.

Which colour is the highbeam wire on a 2003 santa fe.

Get your meter out and find out which wire gets voltage when the high beams are on.
Much easier than trying to find schematics.

Need headlight wiring diagram for 2013 Kia Rio,want to fit spotlights

you will have to fit a relay into the system. Tap a wire into the high beam power wire for the headlights. (Piggy back connection) take this wire down to the fitted relay to a coil pin on the relay. connect a wire to the other coil pin of the relay and return to the dash area to an control switch through it then to an earth point.. Run a wire to an inline fuse directly from the battery ( fuse close to the battery as it is a high current line) down to one pin of the relay. connect up the power wire for the light to the opposite pin on the relay and connect the earth wire of the light to an earth point

According to road regulations you cannot have spot lights on by them selves and they must only operate in conjunction with high beam operation.. The setup as I describe allows you control of when the spotlights will be on ( switch in the dash) and if on will be extinguished when low beam is selected as per regulations. The relay ensures that the trigger wires do not carry full light amperage so light gauge wires can be used and only the power wire from the battery to the relay to the light need to be heavier gauge.

Spotlight wiring in landcruiser

I would just tie into the high beam wiring at the factory lights, wire them into a relay and go from there. I wouldn't even consider adding into the high beam system without a relay. You may also want to consider a switch so you can shut them off if you found yourself in a position where you want your factory highbeams but not the extra's. Good luck and have fun :)

Wiring diagram for spotlights on a discovery I/II (1999) Would like to mount and wire the spotlights up so as they come on highbeam only, and would like to connect it into the ' rear fog light ' switch....

You can find factory wiring diagrams here (free RAVE Download) http://www.landroverresource.com/ And sure you can wire your spots into rear fog switch, depending on watts/draw of your lights you might want to "UP" the fuse rating

My Electic Front Drivers set Will not go Back and Forth It ia a 1991 Buick La Sabre

First you'll need to determine if the fuse and / or relay is good. If so, then check the seat switch by ' hotwiring ' ( running a positive wire from the battery to the positive side of the switch ) . if the hotwire worked, your switch is bad - if not then you may have a bad seat motor or corroded connection. You may need to remove the seat from the vehicle to further test connections and / or run your hotwire to the positive side of the motor, which may be difficult at best. I'd check the fuses first, then relay, the call your local shop since everything else can get complicated.
Good luck!
