Electrical issue

Ok guys I got one I'm totally stumped 2000 f350 I have glow shift Gage's and they worked fine until I wired a relay in for spot lights so they turn off on lo beams and come on with high and have a switch to shut them off on high now on dim lights they are dim red color and when I go to bright they go blue and then I can change color but when I go to dim and back to bright the go back to blue this is with the switch on or off in the dash I used an existing light up switch that someone used before I had it for fog lights which I removed the light never worked in the switch I am stumped maybe faulty switch ??? In hook ground from switch see what happens ??? And use as normal switch ??

On my black tinted series, it was the orange wire, for the dimmer control...

red = hot
yellow = 12v switced
blk = grd
green = sensor , or depending if its the egt, think then its the blue and pink wires for probe
