    Haha I've flashed a couple people with mine. 4 35w HIDs and 310w's of halogens behind the grill gets their attention!

    I realize this thread is a bit old, but here is my solution...

    Three modes with a single switch:
    • Aux lights always off.
    • Aux lights switched with highbeams.
    • Aux lights always on (when ignition on).

    You can also do it with a single relay instead of two, but it means running the high-beam wire from the front, through the firewall, into the switch, and back out to the front again. I'd rather swing the $5 for a second relay...

    I debated quite a bit on lights, but finally decided on two pairs of Rigid 'dually' LED lights. Two floods, two spots.

    Very durable, low current draw, good light dispersion.

    I used a test light and probe'd the harness on my jeep for the "hi beam" wire. Used a relay and run the signal wire from the relay to the "hi beam" wire. Worked fine off the jeep switch b/c there was no extra load on it.

    Those diagrams just made things complicated in my head. If I was gonna have a toggle switch i wouldnt worry with tappin into the hi beam wires.
