So here is the connection setup as best as I can explain
Positive + negative connected to battery this goes to switch (relay)
Relay goes to on/off switch (1 wire) + both lights
Ignition wire spliced into positive wire comming from battery
That goes to fuse then to on/off switch
Hope that makes sense
Is this a switched live? i.e. a cable that is only live when the ignition is on?Change is inevitable, except from a vending machine.0 -
I would but all the wires come set at to the diagram so all I should have to do is connect
Well in theory0 -

If you're not going to run a switched live to the the relay, you may as well just do away with it and simply run the positive though the switch.
Seems daft though
Try running the positive from the horn to the relay instead of the constant feed.Change is inevitable, except from a vending machine.0 -
