Lighting help.
Hey guys, i need some help trying to figure out how to wire my driving lights up to my high beams and yet be able to manually switch them on and off when not used with my high beams.
I did the relay conversion for the headlights over the weekend and i have that all wired up correct and running great.
I also wired up the switch and wires for my driving lights and that works great!.
But how do i wire my lights into the high beams and yet still be able to keep the manual switch?
Do i need to run another relay just for that? and if i do, how would i wire it up?
Anybody with electrical knowledge i would sure appreciate the help.

I thought about it but didn't have a solid answer. Basically, the lights circuitry needs two signal inputs - one from the manual switch and the another input signal from the high beam switch.
What I haven't figured out is how to wire it up so only one signal input is valid - or conversely, disabling the other circuit if the other is enabled.

I'm assuming I'm going to need another relay, but how to wire it in has me stumped.
