YES.... on the back of the headlight switch  you must first cut the red wire
(term 30).
leave about two inches of lead from the switch. Cap the end fron the harness.
Then connect the red lead still attached to the switch into the large black &
yellow wire. The best way is to splice it in an inch back from the switch and
solder it. 

By doing this ALL of the lights will ONLY work if the ingitionis on, BUT you
still can use the switch to turn them off or on just like factory. With the
EXCEPTION that if you leave the light switch in park or headlight position if
you turn the ignition of no matter where what position the light switch is in
those lights will shut off.
