Auxiliary Lights Wired to Highbeams

[keithg64]

That's half of it. I have the lights and the switch with a relay. Here's what I want to do. Lights will be switched on/off with its own switch at handlebar at anytime with the ignition on. When using them with the high beams on and turning the high beams off with the high/low beam switch, I want the auxiliary lights to go off. Then at anytime I can switch the auxiliary lights back on with its own switch at the handlebar.

How do I go about and wire this setup, if possible ?

Use a relay with a normally closed contact, wire a switched, fused + source to terminal 30, your handlebar switch from a + source to T85, the blue high beam wire to T86 (handy source under the left pocket at the fog light switch connector) T87 to the lights.

Would that be using a 5 pin relay but using 87a instead of the 87 pin on a NC relay ?

Yes. Forgot to mention off will be on and on will be off on your handlebar switch.

Thank you, I will definitely test as I go with this. Thank you.

Thank you, I will definitely test as I go with this. Thank you.

You are going to have to have a switch source to T30, otherwise the driving lights will come on with the key off.

[DaveO430]

An alternative would be to use a NO relay (T87) and put a diode in the blue wire from the high beams, your switch wire to the same terminal on the relay (85) and ground 86. Then you could go direct to B+ for T30.

Thank you DaveO but can you draw me a schematic of both ideas ? Thank you. You can even PM me.

Another way to put what I'm trying to do is.

HB on - SW on - Lights on
HB off - SW on - lights off
HB off - SW on - lights on
HB off - SW off - lights off

I want high beams on, lights on, switch on. Then high beams off, lights off, switch still on. Then high beams off, switch on, lights on.

Possibly done through a 5 pin relay with or without a diode ?

[DaveO430]

Then high beams off, lights off, switch still on. Then high beams off, switch on, lights on.

Those 2 things are not possible at the same time.

[keithg64]

Ok, Thank you, is there a specific size of diode that will work better than the other? I have looked at a Schottky diode or is there something better for this setup.

I would think that would do the trick.

[keithg64]

I'm basically trying to have the high beams on, then turn lights on, then the lights would go off when the high beams are switch off. And at anytime the lights can be turned on.

[keithg64]

With the diode setup, when I shut the high beams off will the auxiliary lights go out ?

That's the plan, it's what you want isn't it?

[keithg64]

That will be fantastic, thank you so much.

I think I did what you are trying to do --
The 'fog lamps go OFF when the High beams are on -
The AUX light under my mirrors go ON with the HIGH Beams
Pick up energy from the BLUE wire near the FOG ON switch and use that to flip your relay -
Then your lower lights will switch off when the AUX lights go on...
