light bar relay

lights <------ 87
ground ----> from second relay
upfitter switch --- 85

this means power to the light bar will ONLY be on when
1. the upfitter switch is on
AND
2. the brights relay is on

brights relay

ground ---> 30 & 85
to light relay --->87
jumper from bright headlight power to 86

this relay toggles ground on and off, depending on the brights being on or not.

the ground ON would enable the light bar relay
when the upfitter is on.

this puts the minimum amount of power draw on any existing circuit
(power to toggle the relay, which is about .23 amps, (usually 2.8 watts or less))

Does this method allow me to turn the LED's on using the Aux switch and then have the option to use with bright lights and option to turn LED's off so they will not come on with bright lights? I did read one post where you have to pull the front grill and wire into headlights and then use two of the Aux switches. Is this the same thing?

Having the ability to self configure your light to suit your specific needs is a huge advantage over almost everything else out there. The optics are a critical part of the lighting process and Baja is the only company I know that lets you change between 4 different ones. In terms of the actual LED's, Rigid, and the off brand are using XPG... Baja is using XML 2. They are a much higher output LED. One single XML 2 LED puts out over 1000 lumens! Next big factor that comes into play... heat management. LED's although much cooler in temperature than HID or incandescent, heat is their enemy. Baja uses copper to convect heat away from the core. I can't speak for the others.

I don't want to get into a pissing match, but I have seen both a rigid, and a Baja side by side, and it wasn't even close. Baja projected further, smoother, wider, and the coloring was way better. That doesn't mean that Rigid doesn't offer an excellent product as well.

And to the OP Crazyduck... are you sure you really want to have them on your high beams? You go to flash to pass or flash oncoming traffic to alert them to something and you will not have happy campers in the other car haha.

Lastly, to anyone who wants the light output of the big bars but more discreet. Look into the Baja Designs Squadron XL. I directly replaced my fogs and love them. If I Had bought them first I wouldn't have purchased the bar.
