    Which wire do I use on my DD harness to tap the high beam circuit? I want the following:
    Switch on hit high beams and led bar also comes on.
    Switch off hit high beams and only brights come on.

    The way its rigged out of the box only the switch turns the led bar on. No bueno for driving after dark in Baja. It’s too clumsy to hit the switch when a car is oncoming if that makes sense?

    Thanks!

    The way I did it was to use a fuse tap in the engine bay fuse box, on the high beam circuit. The high beam circuit powers the switch, so the high beams have to be on for the LED bar to work. This way, the camera behind the windshield automagically cuts off the high beams and aux lighting when it sees an oncoming car.

    The switch in the cab is a defeat for the auxiliary lights, when it's off the aux lights don't come on. So it's off unless I am in remote rural areas or on a deserted highway.

    The camera system does not work perfectly but it's good enough for the girls I go out with.
