this is just an idea, it might not even be possible but ill throw it out there.

is it possible to turn on all my offroad lights on my roof and my bumper when just holding the turn signal lever towards you, as if to just flash the high beams, but to have them not turn on when i push the turn signal lever away from me, as if to leave the high beams on? is that 2 different circuits or just one? I would still want to keep my individual light switches for all the lights, but to just have them all turn on when i pull the turn signal lever towards me, so say if im out in the woods at night i can simply just flash my high beams to see something with all my lights

 

People been pissing you off lately? lmao

 

i was thinkin about doin something similar in my truck.. i have 4 hella500ff's on a stock bumper. basically what i would have to do is:

consolidate the switches (merge the 2 sets of hellas together as to run them all 4 on a single switch)

and then take accessory power from the wire for the hi-beams and run that (with an inline fuse of course) to the single switch..

with the switch on.. a tap of the high beams will turn everything on.
with the switch off.. stock hi's


it might be do-able your way.. but this is def. the easy way out

 

lol yeah it would be nice to flash all my lights at the meth heads on the road once in a while.

yeah that sounds like a good idea, it would be nice if we didnt need an extra switch to make it possible though

 

To the OP, it is not possible....The flash high beam and on high beam are different switches, but there outputs go to the same wire. You would need need to do it like the second poster.

You can use the high beam output (Red/yellow wire) as a trigger wire, just put a toggle switch inline so that you can disable the AUX lights when you don't want them. Keep in mind however that the headlight switch is -ive. Im not sure how you have your AUX lights wired but if they are +ive switch you will need a relay.

If you need a wiring diagram can draw something up for you if you like

 

Googled a bit and found this site that goes into detail about wiring off road lights and then talks a bit about wiring them to come on with high beams.

It doesnt have much detail about doing it, but it gives a basic idea.

 

i have my lightforce 170s come on with my brights works great for drivers not paying attention

 

Old cars have the head light button on the floor. You could probably wire up one of those to the high beams, and your offroad lights. If you did it right, I'm sure you could have the headlights independent from the death beam setup. When you step on the button again, it would turn off both, and leave you with low beams, and high beams could still be controlled by the OEM switch.

 

thanks everyone for all the info. one way or another im gonna figure out how to make this work, and ill make a writeup about it when im done

 

One way would be to find one of the flash-only contacts in the headlight combo switch

and tap into that to turn on a relay to in turn hit the other light relays. Or you would need to combine the low+high beam signal (logically high AND low) to turn on a relay. Brute force way would be one relay off of low and one off of high, then have a 3rd relay that is controlled by normally open contacts on the first 2 relays, wired in series. That way you would need to have both those relays on before the 3rd relay would get power then use contacts on the 3rd relay to send power to the off road light relays. Of course things are a little more complicated by the fact the headlights are switched ground wired, so the low beam wire goes to ground when on and same with the high beam light. So you would need the first two relay coils tied to power then have the low and high beam signals ground them to turn them on.

 

Well when you turn on your brights anyways you want to light up everything right? just wire it in to come on when you hit your brights. Or am I not seeing a reason to not have all my lights on when i just turn my brights on? cause i usually run my fog lights on even when im running the normal lights to.

 

yeah I thought of that too, but with most off road lights its not very good for them to be turned on and off all the time. so i figured just having them flash on and off every once in a while shouldnt do alot of harm to them

 

the thought never entered my mind before, but after reading this thread i think im gonna look into doing something like this. i paticularly like the floor switch idea that you push with your foot,

 

yeah i think im gonna go with that idea too. do you know where they sell foot switches like that? i dont think they have them at autozone or napa

 

we had an old dodge pick up in the shop at school that had that switch, i would probly just go to a junk yard, find an old truck that would have it and tear it out.

 

this is the switch out of our 78 dodge. looking at it like this it doesnt look too bad

but once you peel back the bulky rubber flooring the button seems too tall for the thin toyota carpeting


tomorrow ill go to a few local stores and ill see if I can find anything better to use

 

Actually now I think of it the flash only his its own output to the headlight relay. You can tap that output to trigger a relay that controls all of you AUX lights. The only issue with that is that there is 2 triggers for the headlight relay, one from the flash only and one from the headlight on switch. If your flash only trigger was wired to both headlight relay and AUX relay, whenever you have your headlights on your AUX lights will also be on. This could be solved two ways...either put a diode in line to stop it backfeeding, or run the flash only trigger to only the AUX relay and loose your normal high beam flash. You would still be able to click on high beams, you just wouldnt have your normal high beam flash....well you would, but they would be much much brighter lol.

 

They've got a few on ebay, otherwise, the junk yard is the way to go. Although I swear they have them in the local Kragen/Oreilly. I also saw some in a google search, although it's a Jeep parts store, they have the switches for around $5

O ok. Wow. So turning fog lights on and off alot is bad on them? cause a good 99% of the time there on at night. I live in kinda a rural area so i need them for the dark roads. But I dont wanna kill my lights fast. I really need a HID Kit. That would help at night.

 

It would probably make the difference between them lasting 5 years or only lasting 2-3 years. You'd think that extremely bumpy roads/vibrations would be the worst thing for a filament bulb.
