Electrical help please
Weston:
I'm after some advice please. I have the headlights shown below and want to wire them differently to be able to have the look of the middle photo. At the moment the LED bar is on constantly with the ignition as shown in photo 3. What is the easiest way to wire them to switch off once the sidelights or headlights are on?
Weston:
Anyone? I'm guessing I need a relay of some sort?
alexperkins:
Youd need a relay for sure :happy2:
You'd need a normally closed relay so that when the ignition is on, the lights would be on, but when the headlights are on this will trigger the relay therefore opening the contacts
The trigger wire would be the live the the headlights
Weston:
Thanks :happy2:
alexperkins:
If you need wiring colours etc or get stuck on the circuit layout once you have the relay, just let me know
