[QUOTE="condor22, post: 123952, member: 1932"] Your original sketch uses 3 switches and 1 relay. Using 2 relays means switching 2 relays either with 2 switches, a 3 pole switch or a 2 pole switch operating 1 relay to switch the second. This depends on how you want to do what....... I prefer the KISS principle, after all, a relay is only an electrically controlled switch and your total load on this circuit is only 4.5A max. A 3 pole centre off switch is a positive way of directing current to 2 outputs, but only one at a time. This is the main control you need at the driver seat. Do the lights have inbuilt on/off switches or are these to be add ons? [/QUOTE]
