Would that only do the main beam?
I ve made one but only got dipped so i need to re do one to work the spots aswell.

Which one mine or the one on ebay.. mine covers everything, dipped, main and spots with a realy for each.

that ebay one looks lame and doesn't even look like it has enough connections.. In fact I can't even see any bulb plugs?

Yeah your one. Thats what i want it to do cos at the mo there is a massive difference between dipped and main. Cant work out how you did it only using a relay for each side rather than a relay for dipped and one for main

I've got three relays, I have changed the setup twice since fitting and may change again and add a fourth relay but the principle is the same.  The third relay on mine is dedicated to the spots.  Each relay has 2 outputs and the OEM loom remains intact providing the signal.

Take a picture of your upgrade kit rather than the ebay one for a closer look at what you have.

Are these things actually worthwhile, I really need to do this but don't fancy making my own, fitting it is going to be hard enough for me

Buy this one if any....

Worth every penny... I was looking at making a batch but the parts cost just as much as buying the loom....

Also buy better headlight bulbs like Osram/Phillips nightbreaker plus... also worth every penny

Only made mine for me because I wanted it to be a certain way and quality, they're not profitable unless you use cheap sh*t and if that happens you may as well not bother.
