Adding the ability to turn on LEDs with Hi-Beam toggle?

Yes that would be very helpful. If you have any more pictures from your install or even what the finished setup looks like I would greatly appreciate you sharing. Thanks for your help!

 

I’ve got my driving light relays powered by the high beam circuit. But I found I didn’t want to dim way back then drive with low beams for a mile before meeting the traffic.

My solution was a footswitch on my big lights.


This way I can hit the switch and turn off the driving lights- keep the high beams on for a bit longer, then switch down when I get close.

 

Can I get a second opinion on this?
~'17 with BD Squadron sport as fogs~
The set up I'm aiming for; everything functions stock except "fogs" come on with high beams. Looking through this thread I think the below would work. Looks pretty much the same as @67siia posted, just a different relay.

 

That works if you want your Squadrons on every time the highbeams are on.
Throw a switch in the red line (86), or the black ground(85) and you have the option to have the highbeams alone.

 

I'm in the exact same boat as this - just installed the Caliraised light bar, relay and OEM switch. Can't get them to work with the high beams. First tried sending the positive from the Caliraised to an add-a-fuse on the high beam (instead of battery), but that didn't work. Then tried using a second relay based on the instructions above, sending the same positive wire from the Caliraised relay to the second relay, but that didn't work either.

Any ideas? I'm a noob at wiring so I'm sure I'm missing something. Do I need to remove the Caliraised relay if looking to wire to the high beams?

 

@CaliRaisedLed - do you have any ideas how to make this work with your existing relay that comes with the light bar?

 

I would not recommend doing so but I have seen some customers do it. You would wire the trigger wire on the switch to the hot on the high beam so when the high beams turn on the harness is triggered and the LED bar will turn on.

 

Use a fuse tap and plug it into one of the high beam fuses under the hood. Run that tiny wire through the fire wall and to the 12V source wire of the switch, not the trigger (output). Doing it this way, you can trigger your light bar with your high beams, but only when your light bar switch is on. When the light bar switch is off your high beams function without the light bar. This is by far the best way to do it so you can flash people with your high beams in the city if you’re trying to tell them to merge, etc. and you don’t cook their eyeballs. Turn your switch on when you get out of the city and then your high beam stalk will control the light bar.

 

Thanks for the information - very helpful and seems relatively simple. From memory, there were 4 wires coming out of the switch (black, green and two reds). Black goes to ground (black) on light bar, green goes to white on light bar, and both reds go to the blue wire coming from the light bar. Which switch wire would I tap the new wire coming from the add-a-fuse too?

 

Sorry to bug you again @kmorgan3 and @CaliRaisedLed, but how do I specifically connect the fuse tap from the high beam to the OEM switch? I just tapped the LH high beam and connected it to the green switch wire while it was still connected to the white wire coming from the light bar relay. However, this just turned the RH high beam on permanently. I then disconnected the white wire from the relay so that the green switch wire was just going to the wire to the LH fuse tap, and this had things working as desired except for that the LH high beam never turned on (just the RH side). Any ideas? Do I need to try connecting it to the red switch wire instead of the green wire?

 

Remove the white wire. Connect fuse tap to green as you did. Verify you properly installed the fuse tap. When you had the white wire and the LH fuse touching each other you may have blown the LH fuse, so check all fuses.

 

That did the trick, thanks heaps! Everything is working as it should be!

 

Great diagram, thanks!
