Kings dominatorx 9 inch spotlights

[Lakey]

Just a sharp blade to carve the existing slot wider about a mm each side. When I tried to push it on originally it left a couple of marks at the right locations.

Thanks will let you know how I go

The high beam supply should only be power to energize the relay coil so should only draw mere milli amps.
Is the correct size fuse in the high beam fuse holder?
If so I'd say the harness is wired wrong. You may have to remove the harness conduit and check out exactly how it is wired up. The wire from the high beam plug +ve should go to one side of the cabin switch then from the other side of the switch to pin 86 on the relay. Pin 85 should have a wire going to earth. Pin 30 should go to a fuse rated for the spot lights and then on to the battery +ve. Pin 87 should go to the +ve wires on the spot lights. - ve wire on the spot lights obviously goes to earth.
If this is not the case then let us know how the harness is wired.

On line instructions say the kit has and shows both a HB3/9005 connector or an alternative H4 (older style 3 blade rectangular insulated fitting).

The Challenger Manual says HB3 also.

So theoretically should just plug in however the connector that has come with it definitely does not fit the original light fitting, having as I described earlier a single narrow slot more like the H9 rather than the double slot of the HB3. So while my mod to the fitting may have allowed it to fit, as NWD has said perhaps it's shorting out when pushed in.

I'm going to get a Narva HB3 fitting on the weekend then rewire checking the connections as per Hatto directions (Ta for that).

Munn, hope yours works first up. At least I'm not far from the shop here in Brisbane and I'll say to their credit there was no hassle when I took the original harness back.

Hi, installed lights today, had same issue with headlight adapter, had to cut it a littl with Stanley knife, no issues otherwise, took me and my sparky mate 4 hours to install this wiring and my UHF, no issues with blowing fuses as of yet tho, but sparky mate has had issues with these harnesses before, only prob we had was everything was all wired up, turned on spotlights and nothing, turned out I had the white wire on the switch on the wrong connector, ( my fault) still yet to test these lights when its dark, BTW these lights fit with plenty of room, thanks for the input everyone

Glad to hear it's worked okay. Still playing with mine.

Wondering where to get a switch for the spotlights as the one that came with the lights and others I have looked at are too big to fit in the blank next to the diff lock, as I find this the best spot for me, any ideas

Both Stedi and Lightforce do switches to match the Mitsubishi cut out. I just bought Lightforce one at Autotrend for abt $20. Online, for a bit more you can do a customised symbol and text. Both companies do online.

Thanks again everyone, all sorted now. Only thing I can complain about is that I kinda would prefer a rocker switch rather than a push in out switch, but I will get used to it.

Old jack, yeah I was thinking about the 7s but kinda thort bigger better

I’ve had both 7” and 9” kings on my car.
7” give a wider floodlight, and the 9” give more punch straight down the road.
I changed to the 9” after driving at 90 kph and emergency braking and stopped just < 1m before a herd of cattle. The cow then dropped a pile of dung in front of me...and I knew exactly how he felt

After having both I prefer the 9”
