3-way upfitter switch
#1
#3
I would like to wire the driving lights so that I can choose how they come on.
Say when the switch is in the top on position the power will be on not matter what, when the switch is in the middle off position the power will be off, and when it is in the lower on position I will have it wired to a relay that only allows the lights to be on with the high beams.
I've done this with other trucks and it makes it nice. Driving down the highway with high beams and driving lights when a car comes around the corner, simply switch off highbeams and the driving lights turn off also. The manual on position is nice so I can use driving lights to cut through the ice fog we have in Alaska when I use low beams. High beams project too high and refract off the fog/snow/dust/etc...

Dont' think you will be able to find a replacement SPDT switch to switch out the factory switch for. You coult accomplish the same thing using two switches and a diode, if you have two switches to spare. If not you will probably have to get an aftermarket SPDT switch and find a place to mount it.
