    Okay so i have an idea and not completely sure if you can do this. I found this switch from OTRATTW that I think would be humorous to have, and I tend to high beam people when they do stupid things like cut me off, so I might get occasional use out of this.

    But I was wondering if you could still control a bumper light bar, pods, and top lightbar separately but also wire them to the f*** off switch to quickly turn them all on and off. I made a diagram, to help explain what I'm trying to do.

    So yeah, just curious if this would be alright and work the way I am imaging :D

    Work yes, but when they swerve off road no kill somebody you likely won't want this thread on the internet

    I know they are bright as hell, but for a moment coming from behind would that actually be dangerous to them? I know it would be if someone was looking straight on coming the other way, but from behind it seems more annoying than anything

    The way you have it drawn, no. If all 3 go to the same post on one switch, when you turn on one, it will back feed to the others also.
    Run the control + from one switch to all 3 relays. Run the control - from each relay to their individual switches.
    I am by no means telling you to do it. Your reasoning behind it is illegal and dangerous. However, in a technical post, that is what I'd suggest. I have similar setup. But my control + is activated by my high beam circuit while the control - is on a switch.
