Looking for some feedback since you guys are smarter than I am. My goal was to wire up my two BD LP6 lights in such a way that the following is true:
1) When the headlights come one, the backlit amber of the LP6's come on. So that's a backlight trigger.
2) When I turn my brights on, I want to power the low beams of the LP6s with them. I think the LP6 high beams would be way too much to combine with the Jeep's high beams. That's the low beam trigger.
3) I want to hit my AUX 1 switch in the Jeep and the LP6's come on full power regardless of what they were previously doing. (I don't want to have to hit two buttons, just one.)
4) The most important I guess, is that the LP6 low and high sides can't be powered at the same time to prevent damage.
I chose some relays off of Amazon called Nilight 50044R Waterproof 40/30 amp ones since they were not only waterproof, but they were all 12 awg wiring on all legs. I'm using 4 relays to complete all the logic of the connections. This was the simplest and most efficient layout I could think of to achieve it. (I didn't put any fuses in the diagram as that's a given.)
My question is, did I make it too complicated for all I wanted to do? Or is there an even more simple way to do it. And also, any obvious mistakes in what I created? The colored dots are the wire colors for this particular relay socket.
