Default spod & high beam

Hey all, bit of a lurker but first post.

A question about the spod and connecting the high beam as a trigger. Is this possible? Not that I want all of my aux lights to come on, but useful when making a point that high beam only wont really do.

If its possible, how? Suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

Cheers!
Nate

Hi Nate, anything can be triggered by the high beam, but can you enlighten me as to what a 'spod' is please.

Cheers
Bill

Sorry, it might come up with only the mobile website.

Nate you can wire in whichever relay you need to for high beam activation. All forward facing lights I think you'll find under the laws will require this

Ok, sweet. I suppose my next question is how? Where do you wire the trigger to the spod? From what I can see, there doesnt seem to be a place to set the trigger wires to the relays? Maybe I'm missing something??

Thanks
Nate

Yes it can, I have my aux light rigged to an spod switch as well as high beam. I had an auto electrician do it, but you just use a relay to get your high beam trigger.

Thanks Neville. Do you know where he wired it? Was it in the source or the switch panel?

Cheers!
