Highbeams wired...
Also put the driving lights on their own switch.

Looks good. I cant wait to get mine in.
I am finished except for a little wiring issue that i am trying to figure out.
Little complicated so is taking a little to figure out.
Once i figure it out i will install and post pics.
I have led's in the projector for the demon eyes and led strips on the outer edge. I want them both to come on with the parking lights (as long as i have the switch on). Here is the problem... I would like the demon eyes to shut "off" when the head lights are turned on.
I am thinking i will have to run 2 relays. First relay will be a normally open relay which the parking lights will trigger it on an will turn on demons and led strips. Second relay will be a normally closed relay and have it on the power to demon eyes (off the first relay)with the headlights triggering it to off.
If someone has a better idea i would appreciate it.

OK, you want demon eyes and LED strips on with parking lamps BUT off with headlights? Yes?Originally Posted by zx7r4u2nv
OK, use one single pole double throw relay (SPDT), it has the 87 and 87A pins.
Since the LED strips and demon eyes will consume little power you can draw power for them right off of the parking lamp wiring directly. So pin 30 goes to the parking lamps and pin 87A goes to your LEDs and demon eyes and pin 85 goes to your headlight's positive (+) wire and pin 86 goes to ground (-). When the headlights come on it will activate the relay which will throw the contact off the the 87A contact (normally closed) to the 87 contact (normally open) thus turning off the LEDs and demon eyes.

i want the led's 2 stay on with head lights. just kill demon eyes
03-19-2011
Ok wire the LEDs directly to the parking lamps. Use the diagram for the demon eyes.
03-19-2011
I can not wire directly cause i want 1 switch to be able to kill both demon eyes and led strips. I was thinking something like below..Not exact but gives you the idea.

What about....
03-19-2011
I would also like to know wher you got that switch near your display. Almost a perfect match for the bottons.
03-19-2011
Autozone. $3.
03-19-2011
What about....
Yep, there it is. Thats why i asked. i always think of the most complicated way to do it.
Appreciate the input. That is how i will wire.
I wanna hit myself for not thinking of it first. Considering i have been a journeyman electrician for over 12 years.
DUH

LOL, you just needed a second opinion. Plus we're dealing with DC not AC so I'll let it slide.
03-19-2011

I will post pics in a day or 2
03-19-2011

Oh your neighbors must love that you have lights brighter than the sun poking through their windows.
LOL
Looks good man

Thats a very clean install on that switch btw.
03-20-2011
That's why I drove into another subdivision lol.
Thanks, I didn't even measure anything either, I just broke out the Dremmel and hoped for the best lol.
03-20-2011
ya, i really liked that switch. Super clean looking. Went to Autozone today and got 5 of them. Just incase i want to add other stuff later. And with my luck, they would have discontinued it.
03-20-2011
LOL if they disco that switch and I need one I'm coming to you...better not jack the price up
03-20-2011
no, i would not raise the price. $3.99 each + tax. Shipping is $25.
