    I have seen this discussed before but the heck if I can find it now.

    For the high beams and low beams are the positive or negative switched?

    I wish to add a relay so auxiliary lighting is enabled with the high beams so I need to know if I enable a positive trigger or a ground trigger.

    Thx

    The headlights (low & high) relays are negatively switched, but the headlights are positive. So add-a-fuse to HIGH and one for LOW, for positive trigger to added relays.
