MG Midget Spotlight Fitting


Spots look pretty good on any sporty old car and was always keen to fit them to my MG Midget. The first step was rubber bumper removal and will cover that in a another post.

The spots themselves were Wipac ones and cost me just shy of £20. The other items needed are of course some wire, of sufficient ampage rating, you don't to burn your car down and a relay. You can wire them to come on with their own switch, old fashioned toggle switches available from the likes of maplins or other online dealers, or as I did when main beam is engaged.

The way I achieved this was to add the relay parallel to the main beam switch so that it triggers when the main beam is switched on and voila spots.

Fitment wise, i bolted the spot bracket which comes with the spots straight to the front of the car, at the top of the front valance.

It's an hours work or so and satisfying being able to floodlight those dark country roads!!
