This is straight from the battery, and feeds the front and rear parking lights, and instrument lights. Second, you have the X. This is the one that comes from the ign. switch, and that puts the head lights out when you turn off the ignition. The X circuit in the ign. switch is notorious, and causes many scratched heads.
