Toggle Switch for Headlights?

going to a relay i din't see any reason why it shouldn't work... i know i was talking to a guy around here that had everything wired to toggle switches (starter, coil, turn signals, brake lights, etc., etc.). it all went between the spreaders on the rollcage to boot. it's a little bit much for me, but the finished product looked nice.

 

The smaller toggles I use would work, but if you are going to a larger (1/2" mounting hole) then you'll need to check. I'm thinking of an ON-ON-ON switch. If your ON-ON-ON switch has continuity with contacts 3-5 and 2-4 (or 1-3 and 4-6) when set in the middle position, then you should be good with this diagram. May have to change it side to side depending, but should work.

 

Mike when I had it hooked up, I had the parking lights and dash gauges ran to one switch, and the head lights and tail lights hooked to another. Then had aux lights and the ign. hooked up on two more. And still had one open spot incase I got something else to hook up.

 

i run min through a three pos togglr. i just used a relay along with it. i have toggles fo everything including heat, but i have afterkarket heat with just three pos. hi/lo/off hth

 

Mike I always wire sand rails up the way your talking.
Gonna do Bamm Bamm the same way.
In fact I had my aux lights wired indivually so I could chose one at a time or all of them or any combo there of..

 

This is the exact reason I bought a new dash from Hippo. Cleaning up the look and using a toggle system. No key will be necessary when I'm done as well.

 

Mike - don't know much about wiring and switches, but could you use two switches wired in series instead of one four position - on/off for power and on/on/on for speed control? :?

 

Try to use marine grade when possible.
