Oh dear... is there an Auto Electrician in here???

Hi guys, my first post in here...

I've got a 1990 R32 GTS-t Type M, and it has (had!) an "FET performance spot lamps" kit installed. Now, strangely enough my air-con blows a fuse every time I turn on the ignition (if the car is already running and I put a fuse in then turn on the air-con, it's fine)... I'm trying to do trial and error to find the problem, which led me to the spotties.

Why the spotties? Well, before the previous owner put the car up for sale, he took out the spotties themselves, but left all the wiring in. This was a little strange to me, as I've put spotties in before and when taking them out of course the wiring comes with it. I thought maybe that the FET relays are putting too much load on the electricals (they're somehow always switched on), which when I go to start the car with the air-con running, the load is even more increased, blowing the air-con fuse... dumb idea?

So I go to take out all this unused wiring... little did I know that the FET spotties were spliced into the standard wiring system!!!! I thought aftermarket spotties were supposed to be installed completly separate from the factory wiring?

The FET spotties used *two* relays, one rather large one thats linked to another smaller one which has all the +/- wiring going to the battery. From the smaller relay theres a small wiring loom which connects to one of the head lamps. Now that the FET wiring is pulled out, BOTH my headlights seem to be disconnected.... but the parking lights are ok.

What I want to know is:

a) How can I link what seems to be 2 headlights connected by factory wiring back up to power again?

B) Can I open up the under bonnet fuse box and just link the headlights up there?

c) Does anyone know the basic wiring path from the head lights to the under bonnet fuse box (it'd be good to see just how everything is *supposed* to hook up)?

Cheers for taking the time out to check this thread guys, I really need help!!!

Don't worry people!

Hell, I suprised myself today with my auto electrical skills... headlights fixed.

I used the old FET relay (big one), hooked the headlight loom up to it, ran power to the relay and presto... working.
