Wiring up driving lights in highbeam location w/ OEM fog switch...

[sukchew at cox-internet.com (Chuck Blue)]

Are you going to relay high and low beams or some other lights?I relayed my 
upper and low beams and used the switch on the stalk to excite the relays.it 
works great.
  You want Battery voltage to the relays.That will be the highest voltage 
that you can get.The switch is just to turn on the relays which switch 
should be mounted close to the lights.
  You could easily have low Voltage to the lighter and that is all under the 
dash.
