Wiring up driving lights in highbeam location w/ OEM fog switch...

[area53 at validpath.com (Jeff Toomasson)]

I'm doing all the relays. One relay for the lows, one relay for highs (both in 
my H4's which will continue to be controlled by the stalk), one relay for 
these driving lights and one relay for the HELLA GTF-outta-my-way air horn  :)

All the relays will be mounted near the battery and get their supply voltage 
and grounds there. What I'm looking for is just a signal wire to the relay 
from the switch.

thx, JT
