Can't do much more than that unless someone else has the same model wired by the same person on the same day using the same roll of wire ... because sometimes it seems they just grab any piece of cable and use it, rather than adhering to a standard!
Multimeter? Making it hard for yourself. Just use a test light

At least I'm not as bad as the Americans. They poured billions of dollars into sending a man up to the moon so they could pick up a rock. Could have done it in their own garden, but nooooo, let's make it complicated.
hmm. ive attached the relay as per instructions, and now what happens is, the spotlights stay on all the time, but turn off when i flick to highbeam.....,
The basic idea is this:
A relay carries power direct from the battery to the driving lights but only when the relay is activated. It's that simple.
The relay should be activated by the headlight's high beam wire (which is positive). This wire should go to one pole on the relay (either pin 85 or 86). The other (86 or 85) should be connected to negative (earth).
The power from the battery should be connected to pin 30.
The driving lights should be connected to pin 87.
My guess is you're using a double-throw relay and the pin you've attached the output to is 87a. Change this to 87 and it should work.
