[QUOTE="NDO, post: 1163041, member: 22777"] I think I've decided on my switch strategy. I'm going to run direct feeds to most of my lights with Onyx6 10" as Aux1, 4 cube spots as Aux3, 2 cube floods as Aux4 (also providing power to my mirror LEDs), and backup lights as Aux6. Then on Aux5 I'm using a dual relay setup tied to high beams to power all of my forward facing lights (Onyx6 plus 4 spots plus 2 cubes). The first relay triggers from high beams and powers from Aux5; the second relay triggers from the first relay and powers from a new 30A fused power lead from the battery. To prevent backfeeds I'll be using diodes in three locations on the combined circuit so my lights can still operate independently. I'm using a fourth diode on the power lead to the mirror spotlights. I decided to splice in power to the existing power lead (the wire from pin 2 of the green molex connector under the dash, according to another post) so I can drive with the spots on in the woods. I'm powering it from my floodlights (Aux4) because I can't imagine ever needing spots while driving without also wanting the floods. The diode will prevent backfeeding the normal power source. So with Aux4 OFF the mirror spots will work exactly as normal, but with Aux4 ON the floods will illuminate and the mirrors can be illuminated while driving. In both cases the mirror spots will still be controlled by the existing mirror spot push buttons. That was long-winded, so in summary: Aux1: Onyx6 10" Aux2: spare 15A Aux3: four spot cubes in fog pockets Aux4: two flood cubes in fog pockets, plus power to mirror spots Aux5: combined, all forward lights illuminate if high beams are on Aux6: two rear cubes [/QUOTE]
