double check they are spot lamps though, some are fogs!
easy way to do it would be to buy a relay lighting loom with spot lamp wiring on it, 2 birds with 1 stone then

1. Tap in to the white and brown wire on the headlight connection,
2. Use 2 relays in for each lamp, take the white wire and cut it add the spot light wire to it and connect it to number 87 on the relay use the existing connection of the white wire to 86 on relay and have a positive feed from battery with a inline fuse to 30 on the relay and connect the ground wire running from battery to number 85 on relays , the brown wire on the spots is connected to the housing of the spots so I could ground them to the body, sorry if I'm going a wrong way about it, I upgraded my head lights, so using the same sort if way to wire the relays so I can use my spots, please do correct me of I'm going the wrong way

you'll want to wire pin 87 of the relays to both the spots and the main headlamps and run the earth from the spotlamp and headlights to the battery to get the best out of them.
Yep thats the correct way to wire up your relays, the earth pin 85 can go to the original wiring, shell or battery whatever is easiest for you as its just the trigger side

I would supply all the lamps with fresh earths straight to the battery, as you dont know the condition of the original copper. Since the H4 plugs are not sealed they have been exposed to the elements since rolled off the production line so not likely to be in tip top condition.
the relay earths can go to the original h4 plug earth if you like as its not got any kind of load on it, just used on the trigger side.

the relay earths can go to the h4 plug earth, or the battery, or chassis somewhere whatever is easiest for you. as long as its a semi decent earth it'll be enough to switch the relays.
with the fuses unless you use monster bulbs 10a is fine, same as oem

for the spots you can either piggy back out the back of the new H4 plug on the relay loom, or direct on the 87 pin on the relay side, both will work fine
