    I was planning on running some ditch light through a relay triggered by the high beams but also switched so I can run the high beams without the ditch lights. Simple enough...
    Now I'm wondering if I can use a two position (3 with off) so I can use them as stated (switch position 1) but also, switch position 2 would light the ditch lights without the high beams?
    Seams simple but do I need to worry about feedback to the high beam trigger wire?
    I'm going to mock it up this weekend but thought I would get some advice first.
    Thanks
