[QUOTE="SpeedJunkie, post: 1236505, member: 24927"] I'm not an expert on this stuff, so maybe I am wrong, but it looks to me like if you have AUX1 switched on and then hit your high beams that all of your lights will come on. I'm not sure that the diodes or other AUX switches really serve a purpose the way you have it set up. This is the way I am looking at it: AUX1 gets switched on, but relay is blocking power until relay is triggered. High beams go on, trigger relay, which allows power to flow from AUX1. Diodes look setup to allow power to flow to all lights from AUX1. The other AUX switches really aren't doing anything. I think you are going to need more relays to make it work the way you want it to. I have the same lights as you, but am going to make it a little simpler and just have the KC lights be simple on/off with the AUX switch. The other 2 sets of BD lights will have to have the AUX switch on and then high beams on to come on. I'm just going to tap the high beam wire and split it to each set of lights I want to control and go through a separate relay for each AUX switch. The only thing I need is to know what wire on the 2018's. I have a message in to my Ford dealer to try and get the info from them. Will post when I find out as it seems nobody else knows. [/QUOTE]
