Hey all, I'm adding another set of lightforce to the bumper of the Frog, they are wired to a switch in the "normal" way, using a relay and lighted switch, but I want to hook them to come on when the highbeams come on, this sounds easy but remember in Canada we have DRL's which turn the high beams (half the voltage) when the jeep is started, so the relay is clicking as soon as the vech starts, I can just use the switch to have it turned off until the headlights are turned on, but there has to be a better way. Any help? |

You'll have to go to the steering column. Trace the harness that goes to the switch and identify the wire that triggers the high beams with a multi meter. It will most-likely be a negative trigger. You might have to diode-isolate the trigger wire to prevent back-feed to the switch. If it's extremely low voltage, you'll probably need to use a transistor before the relay. |
