High beams & Aux lights

[Maxxed Out]

So driving home tonight when my high beams turned on automatically got me thinking ...

Could you some how wire a set of lights to turn on when the high beams automatically turn on? ‍

you could tap a wire for the high beams as a signal wire for a relay to some lights

Absolutely. Actually LVJ Motorsports makes a really neat kit that allows this feature. You get 5 circuits to tap into your upfitters (in case you need extra amperage for lights). The nice part about routing lights through the LVJ Motorsports kit first is they have a high-beam trigger that activates extra lights when your highs go on.

I have upfitter 1 going to the LVJ Motorsports kit. Going into my LVJ Motorsports kit are 4 LP9s. When upfitter 1 goes on, all 4 LP9 go on. However the LP9s have a "low beam" mode. So I have the low beam setup to turn on when my highs go on (the lows are NOT hooked up to an upfitter, no need, since i never need to turn them on outside of the high beam trigger).

Having designed, purchased parts and built a relay panel from scratch I would 100% recommend the LVJ panel. I spent more in $ ordering all the parts let alone the time spent and I still need to make a mounting bracket.
