Adding Flash to Pass switch?

Post by Terence »

As per the subject..where is the best place to tie into the headlamp circuit? Dip dim switch?
My Headlamps are already running through relays that are powered by the lights switch, but I am thinking that I need to trigger the relay with a separate power line so the switch doesn’t need to be on to use the flash switch.
Do you use high beams or low?

Main beam would be usual.

So the main beams flash when the dipped beams are on or off?
Just trying to figure out how they supposed to function.

You add an an ignition live into the new switch. New cable from switch to main beam wiring bullet connectors in wiring harness. Ignition on, flick the new switch and both main beams flash

So I can tie into the main beam wire that comes out of the dip switch?
I have an auxiliary fuse panel that is ignition live that I will use for power.

Yes, any main beam white/blue. That's a good idea to use the dip switch part of the loom
