    So I have 2 of the lights pictured below. I'm putting 1 in each headlight to use as high beams and day time driving lights. During the day I want to have them on with the fog lights and turn off automatically when the headlights are turned on but turn on when given power from the high beam switch. I know how to wire everything, just don't know what device would allow me to do this.

    A few relays should do the trick. But figuring out how to wire them that way, I'd have to think about that one for a while. I have some small amber lights that I use as dtrls and have them hooked up to be on with running lights and turn off when the headlights come on (via two relays). But I never thought about hooking them up to the high beam switch. Perhaps a third relay would do the trick. But that might create some issues, Idk I'd have to think of how that would wire up. That or you could get a Bluetooth controller if it's can handle those lights. Or a remote. But that defeats the easy 'automatic' setup that you are looking for. Which is the way I like mine set up as well;)
