Don't forget to use a relay for (relatively) brighter lights and less chance of
letting loose the magic smoke in the wiring.

What type On/off switch did the dealers install for Tiger driving lights?

I have a set of th2 Rootes branded spot and fog lamps and hopefully the
correct brackets, but
have no clue on a correct On/off switch.

I have a WIPAC rotary switch but it would need to be fitted to the dashboard
via the dash roll (somewhere), and that seems like it's not correct.
