Got to remember one thing, if you run two different things in this switch you will have to put a toggle on the power source to turn them both off.

I'm aware of that. I intend to have overhead aux lights and push bar mounted lights. I'd probably toggle kill the overheads if I didn't want them on, but would have all the forward lights on the switch. Hit that switch and darkness turns into daylight.

As far as ejection, I'd have both features on the dimmer switch. Just have a relay delay of a .5 second to make sure the damn door got opened first before the seat dumped the bitch out. You know, I switch does it all type of event.

True. I just want to run 1 set of lights... the 2 Hello 550's inside the grill.

I am still very geen with wiring, ut from what Ive seen, here's how would wire it...

Basically with the foot switch, I will take the yellow wire to the fuse box. Now Im unsure what I should do with the green-bown wires? run one to 85 and snip the other?

I guess I could skip the relay and just wire them hot off the battery, in-line fuse, use the hi-beam wire back to the lights and snip the other?

Really, you didn't have to do that. So when can I come pick it up??? Or did you plan on getting a D60 front axle on it for me first? You've done good, I can handle the axle swaps.

No axle swap anytime soon. Need to drive and enjoy this for awhile... Stereo if anything next

Got to have a booming system when I cruise the mall for high school chicks...
