[QUOTE="kurrajong, post: 124045, member: 4228"] Hi Ryan, your original sketch shows the relay output connected to the negative side of the lights. Lots of blown fuses that way so I am assuming it is a slip in the drawing. Use two blocking diodes in your diagram, one on each of the wires from the relay output to the lights, they will do what you want but make sure you get them with a current rating of at least double what your lights are going to draw. A standard 5 pin relay with two 87 terminals will work just fine. Narva <a href="http://www.narva.com.au/products/browse/normal-open-4-5">68032</a> will be the one. Wiring diagram needs to look something like this [img]https://www.prospectingaustralia.com/forum/img/member-images/4228/1420433585_lights.jpg[/img] Hope this helps [/QUOTE]
