I’ll try to break this down so it’s easily understood, hopefully.
I have spliced 2 wires into my low beam & high beam wire at the steering column which gives me two conditional supply sources of 12v for the two switches on the dash.
switch #1 (S1) fed from low beam wire to switch, then if in the on position and low beams are on, it will power pin 30 on relay 1 (R1) for 4 small pods in the bumper.
switch #2 (S2) fed from high beam wire to switch, then if in the on position and high beams are on, it will power pin 30 on relay 2 (R2) for a Light bar across the top of the windshield.
I wired things this way to maintain separation and the ability to decide if and when I use them, given certain conditions are met, but to also safeguard against leaving them on by accident and coming back to a dead battery. Now my dilemma that maybe someone can help me solve, and that I’m probably just overthinking.
I want the bumper lights to stay on if either of my headlight levels are on, in the current setup when I switch from low to high beams, with both switches on the bumper lights and low beams turn off and the high beams and light bar turn on.
Im figuring a diode or possibly a 5pin relay may be in the solution, but I’m drawing a blank.
Any thoughts or suggestions on this?
