Connecting spotlights into existing high beam circuit

Ford Ranger 2016 XLT 2500 miles
I want to connect a pair of spot lights onto my Ranger.
I need to connect into the High beam wire that supplies the Earth sense.
The rear of the High Beam assy is encased in a plactic cover restricting the loom access. Anyone know where to find the high beam wire and how to connect?

You need to get a wiring loom. It has 2 types adaptors that plug into the back of your headlight. The rest of the loom goes to the battery, fuse and a switch for the dashboard to make it all leagal. Look at online 4X4 shops. Easy to install.

Intermittent starting problems

Ford Ranger 2017 Ford Ranger 45000 miles
My truck has been in 3 different shops for the same reason. Sometimes it will not start and the starter clicks twice like a dead battery. If I wait one minute it starts everytime but if I try to start if after the two clicks and I dont it just keeps cranking and wont start. I wait one minute and it will start. The shops have combined to change the wire harness,starter,battery twice. Their are no error codes and there are times I can go a week without any problem.

Radio turns on but no audio

Ford Ranger 2018 3.2L Dual Cab XLT 58000 miles
I have absolutely no audio coming through the speakers, not even a sound at max volume, just pure silence. I do have a 4 channel amplifier connected to a module that converts speaker wire to RCA. There is power to both the module and amp and when you touch the RCA cable, there is a humming sound coming from the speakers. Checked fuses and all OK. Was working fine for a year and a half since owning the Ranger until 4 weeks ago. SYNC is up to date also. What am I missing? Could there be an issue with the head unit?
