ON - OFF - AUTO wiring diagram
Does anyone know where I can find the wiring diagram for wiring up aux lights with a 3 way toggle. I tried searching but I couldnt come up with anything.
Also where can I find the 3 way switches? I have a couple but im looking for some better looking ones.
- Thanks

It's not that hard. Get a DPST switch which can be set up as on-off-on. Usually the center pin on the back is the output to the device/lights, or in your case the relay. The top pin can be for the reverse trigger, bottom for the highbeam trigger or whatever.
You need to tap into a wire that is hot with the high beams on. It is a good idea to fuse it. Run that wire to one of the pins on the switch as a power source. Do the same for the reverse lights.
Output from the switch goes to turn the relay on/off. Then the relay gets it's own power wire from the battery with a fuse or breaker, and the lights get powered from the relay.

Oh I read it wrong. Still works the same either way. Tap into a wire that is hot with high beams, run that into one lead on the switch as "auto". Then run another wire to the other lead that is either hot all the time or hot with the ignition on.
Beyond the switch is a normal relay/light setup. There are plenty of threads on here discussing how to hook up lights with switches and relays if that's what you're looking for.
