    Right now, they're just wired to a constant. So when the trucks on they're on, but I'm trying to see if theres an easy way to have them wired to the headlight switch so I can turn them off too, without having to tear apart the steering column.

    So your light bar is always on when your truck is running? Where do you have the relay trigger tapped?

    I just recently installed a CaliRaised bar in that spot. I added a relay near the battery, and a switch inside. I tapped a light switch switched power in the fuse block under the lt side of the dash for the switch. Mine only work if the lights are on, and they must be turned on to work as well. PM me and I can walk you through the wiring in more detail.

    Add a circuit/fuse at the Low Beam fuse (Left or Right). You'll loose the Lightbar with HIGH Beam select.

    If he put the add-a-fuse in the turn signal light / hazard fuse (#12 I think), will his raptor lights blink when the blinker is on?

    No...the fuse is before the blinker relay...But there's no switch to control the lightbar, which the OP wants...
