    Heyy so I did my ditch light and ran a fuse jumper to my light fuse and the switch turns in and off perfect with my lights , now I have installed an led light bar and was wondering where I can put another jumper so the switch will do the same to turn on and off with my headlights , not sure if putting a jumper on a jumper would be smart or what other fuse would be good to use ?

    You don’t want to be driving around on the streets with a lightbar constantly on. It’s not very hard to turn the lightbar on with the switch anytime you need light...

    Sounds like he needs a separate switch and a relay to trigger the light bar. Yes, he doesn’t need to be running around with the light bar on when the lights are on.

    Sorry that’s was bad word choice on my part I was referring to the switch , on my first Install I put the switch leds like the button only to turn on and off when I turn on my lights and when the truck is off the light switch is off , now I have to do the same for this switch for the led lights . The way I got that to work was with a fuse jumper so that the light on the switch will illuminate when the lead lights turn on and off but not the led or ditch lights those only turn on when I click the switch , my concern is where can I plug in another fuse jumper or can I put 2 fuse jumpers together is that safe ?
