central locking and spotlights
Hello all,
I want to start with: Sorry if I posted this thread in wrong forum section.
Ok, here goes.
I got myself a universal remote kit to add to the existing central locking system, now my question is:
Where can I find my original central locking control unit in the car?
so I can connect the wires from my kit to it.
I also would like your opinion about spotlights.
Option A: Bunch of round spot lights mounted to the front and rear side of the roof and a few on the bulbar.
Option B: A led bar mounted to the front and rear side of the roof and 1 on the bulbar.
Friendly regards,
Ryan

Remember, flood lights on the roof will cause a good amount of glare on the hood, Id suggest 2 spots, one on each a pillar, and a 20'' or 30'' bar on your bumper

I was thinking: 10x 9" round lights, 8 on roof (4 rear and 4 on front side of roof) and 2 on the bullbar or 2x 44inch led bars on roof and a 22" ish on the bulbar.
And wich light beams patterns would be recommended?

Keep in mind the drag you will get from roof mounted lights. I have five square lights mounted on a light bar up top and above 50mph they can get really obnoxious. Wind noise is almost unbearable and mpg drops significantly. Any time I'm on the highway for more than 20 minutes or so I usually take my lightbar off
