    Yeah, I don't disagree with what you're saying. All I wanted from them was a simple diagram like the one provided with the aftermarket switch I bought. I was referring to the pic I posted, not your diagram.

    You would think after dropping close to $500 on their product that would be the least they could do. If not I could just return their stuff and go with DD or another brand willing to offer more customer support. I could even just go with this CaliRaised which looks straightforward and comes with a detailed video: https://youtu.be/W4MXEJpedrM?si=aEcEqnqVcT1Myii3

    I emailed them a couple days ago, so I'll give em a few more days to respond.

    I am looking at the same project - I believe I have a straightforward answer.

    The wiring at the switch itself makes it seem more complex than it is. If you strip back the wiring heading INTO the switch (not looking at what's jumpered in the back of the Morimoto switch), there's 3 wires, blue, red and yellow.

    As far as I can tell-
    Yellow = Ground
    Red = Battery +
    Blue = Output to accessory (lights in this case).

    With yellow on ground and red to the battery, I got the switch itself to light up. I then tested connecting the lights directly to the battery (with the relay in line). Red and blue to battery, yellow to ground turned on the lights. This indicates to me that the blue is the switched output. You can wire the input power a few different ways (accessory, constant, etc).

    I did the same project and found:
    The red 2 next to ground wire is not needed. The green connection goes to the either yellow or red wire from morimoto.
    red 1 goes to the two blue wires
