Tiger Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 Right on my roof rack I have 4 rather nice spotlights. The two outer lamps are Drving lamps (55w Halogen) The two ineer lamps are Fogs (55w Halogen) I want to be able to do the following combinations Outer on Inner on Outer & Inner on Outer on with Full Beam Outer & Inner on with Full Beam Help! Wiring makes my head hurt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 It should be possible to do all you want with a few relays & good quailty switches. I'm sure LandymanLuke will see this & add a reply, he's pretty good with things electrical as are some others on here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wiring makes my head hurt It sounds like you need 2 x 3-way switches. 1 for the 2 inner lights and 1 for the two outer lights. Position 1 - Off Position 2 - On with flash / main beam Position 3 - On Without thinking about it too much I think you would need a relay switched by your main beam circuit to drive the actual relay for the lights when in position 2. Position 3 is a straight forward connection to the relay and position 1 is even easier - off! I would seek clarification on this though as it's been a long week!

Mark90 Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 I've just sketched out this simple wiring diagram. You would need to duplicated this for the Fog lamps and the Driving lamps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Bean Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 That diagram looks good enough to work from, the drawings i'm used to seeing are generally on the back of a fag packet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LandyManLuke Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 Mark90 has drawn what i'd draw. I think you can get Carling switches in on/off/on, i've got a standard toggle switch in that configuration that was a couple of quid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
