Sorry if I was unclear...not sleeping too much lately!
You CAN use all the switches etc. you've already got. I would just
suggest using a relay to supply power to the driving lights to make
sure it gets all the voltage it needs. But this applies to ANY aux
lighting one might install.
And, I would <bold>suggest</bold> having a seperate switch (just a
simple toggle switch) so that you have the option to turn the driving
lights off when you have your high beams on in certain situations.
NOrmally, the driving lights would go on when your turn the high beams
on.
I hope this makes sense. :)
James
