Did a minor hack today.....

I hacked my Lightforce Driving lamps to my high-beams so that when I flip my high-beams on, it also turns on the lightforce lights.

Not hard....just makes life a bit easy.

lol...thought I would post it.

Fish posted how he did his in "our" section. I see you're prepping yourself for the new truck next year?

I did, but my set-up is both a manual switch that is always hot to turn on the Hella's via and OEM switch - AND the HighBeam control as well. Doing it this way on the hundred has some interesting effects - with the truck off if you flip the HB paddle towards you, if just lights up the Hella alone, but if you flip it forward it lights up the Hellas and HB's. Not sure why...

anyway, have fun... here is the wiring diag

"Our" section....lol...I think we can assume anything we think about or want to do in the 200 section would have been done in the other sections first.

Wow great diagram. I don't have the knowledge you do.

Mine is simply cutting the power wire from the relay and extending the wire and then splicing it into the positive wire on the high beam bulb adapter.

Simple and easy.

I can still shut them off via the original switch I installed. I want to add in, at another time, the same system you have. I just need some more knowledge and understanding of diod's etc. I would not even know what to purchase at this point!

UPDATE:

Well strange issue today.

Everything works normal when the Auto System turns on the lights in the dark.

When that system is shut off (during the day) If the toggle switch is on then the driving lights DO turn on.

I have to shut the toggle switch off to turn them off.

Then if I push 'brights' on during the daytime, it only turns on the regular brights.

When I am in the garage (triggering the auto lights), all I need to do is turn the toggle switch on, then use the 'brights' to turn them both on.

Interesting.....

Must be something with the constant 12V being bypassed or shut off during sunlight.
