Re: Spotlight Wiring
You could run a wire to the tail light connection on the firewall terminal block and it will only work when the lights are on, or to the battery connection on the terminal block if you want it to work all the time.

Re: Spotlight Wiring
Did you drive the T to your new home yet. Is the spotlight required now

Re: Spotlight Wiring
It would be best to include an on-off switch if it doesn't already have one. Mine had a twist switch built into the connector on the rear of the light.
