Electrical Gurus.. Aux Lighting Wiring Help

Time for a major upgrade. Living in the mountains my stock 6054 lights suck and just don't cut it. I'm getting Hella 500 fogs for the bumper, Micro FF driving lights for mounting in the grill where the turn signals are, and a H4 6054 headlight upgrade.

I would like to wire them up so the fogs come on with the headlights and the driving lights come on with the high beams. I would also like an inline switch so I could stop this if I needed. Also I'm getting the higher wattage H4 bulbs and am told I need to run a direct power supply to them to do this.

I'm an electrical noob so could one of you gurus draw up a wiring diagram on how I could do this.

Just picked up the Hella 500 fogs and some new motorcycle flush mount turn signals to relocate to the fenders for this weekends project. After that I'll be picking up the Micro FFs for the turn signal buckets. I'll let you know how it goes.

In a TJ, you have the factory fog cutoff relay which you can use to run fogs low beam and driving high-beam very easily which is what I did. Simply use the unused output of the relay to trigger the switch circuit for the driving lights.

I do not know if a YJ has this relay or not.

Well finished phase one this weekend with the 500s and new turn signals. Big difference already with the Micro FFs coming up next.


It was easy, thanks for the diagram kencaz
