Electrical engineer anyone?

Not gonna drop brands as I don't wanna get in trouble.

I have some glow lighting in the hood gap, behind running boards, cubes, fogs and headlights.

I'd like the headlights and fogs to run off the ignition. Simple enough to wire even for me.

HOWEVER, when at a show I'd like the headlights and fogs to sync with the other glow lights off one switch; ignition off. I'm sure this can be accomplished thru a 4/5 pin relay. I'm just not smart enough to figure it out.

If someone has some crayolas and the time to draw me a picture I'd be grateful.

(I'm retired Army, not USMC so I"m not gonna eat the crayons)

TIA

I'm not following what you're trying to do. I have rock lights under my truck and put in a Voswitch relay box with switche panel that fits where the factory switches go. You get 6 switches that way. I like my rock lights on a separate switch and to be able to run with the truck off. I use them a lot when unloading the truck at night. So I have rock lights low, rock lights high, Ridid 360 bumper lights halo, 360 spots, ARB on board air, and under bed rack lights on my switch panel.

Headlight and fog lights on with ignition; easy enough.

However when I turn on the glow lights (ignition off) I want the heads and fogs to come on as well.

This sounds like something our TRIGGER accessory control system may be able to simplify. It can power and control multiple fused 12V accessory circuits directly from the battery, including while the vehicle is off, so your RGB/glow lighting controllers could potentially be activated together from one switch. The exact setup will depend on the components you are using and how everything is currently wired, but you are more than welcome to speak with our technical team to determine whether one of our solutions would work for your build.

this is the way.

also, if you do build a harness like i do, dont do it high. it took me ten minutes to figure out i put two female ends on the same wire. idiot i am.

I have them on a voswitch panel.

My dilemma is how to configure the headlights and fogs to function off the ignition AND the Boswitch when the ignition is off.

Do your headlights and fog lights have halos or other illumination that you are trying to activate, or are you trying to activate the actual headlight / fog light?

Edit: I see you have a Rubicon X - so I believe those have a factory halo in the headlights, but pretty sure the fog light is just the one light unless you have something aftermarket...

It can be done, but you'll be cutting up some factory wiring I'm sure.

Aren't headlights canbus monitored?
