[QUOTE="condor22, post: 123884, member: 1932"] Here's a simple circuit [img]https://www.prospectingaustralia.com/forum/img/member-images/1932/1420353712_20150104_170910.jpg[/img] 3 Pole Switch - Position 0 = OFF Position 1 = Power to both lights and switches 1 & 2 are bypassed Position 2 = Power to switches 1 & 2 which can then turn 1 or both on & off. This negates the use of a relay, however one can still be used. Put a 10A fuse between the battery and the 3 pole switch near the battery. Also put a 5A fuse between switch 1 and its light and the same for the other light. Be aware of using the correct cable size to handle the current and distance voltage drop. Unlike DWT's missus, my work was flying around at Mach 2, not leisurely sailing the seas, lol BTW if you use twin core from the cab 3 pole to the back, even tho, they are red and black, you can use one for pole 1 and the other for pole 2. When I do this, I usually wrap some red insulation tape around the black wire where it is seen. [/QUOTE]
