Install a Relay in ignition to shut off driving lights???
Does anyone know how to wire a relay into the ignition to use as a switch to shut off my driving lights? I know the basic workings of a relay. I just wasn't sure if I can put it inline with the ignition, or just tap into the ignition for one side of the relay coil...
Thanks

the bottom of the relay should have numbers next to the pins, or a diagram on the side that has the pin config on it.
To turn off driving lights while ignition is on:
85 to ground
86 tapped on to the ignition wire
30 wire to driving lights
87a wire to power for driving lights
87 not used.
