'84.
  Hi, after some of the recent posts on headlight switch failure, I ordered
a spare for my 84.  It's switch has been a little sticky anyhow, hard to
turn off and on and I have a tunnel I pass through a few time per day..so (a
spare can't hurt, right?)  But as I perused the Van-Cafe site I found that
auxiliary driving light switch listing and thought..'Hey, I can take the KC
lights off my truck (can't afford to drive that anymore anyhow) and put them
on the van.  So..

  Anyone have any suggestions?  The lights are some big KC Daylighters.  I
used a cheap Shucks Auto switch and relay on my Ford pickup..worked ok till
the relay broke, then the switch broke..On the Van, I guess I'd like
something a bit better. Hopefully, an appropriate switch is a good start.

  One thing I'd like to try is to somehow wire in these very bright lights
is to have them only work when my bright head lights are on, incidentally
going off whenever I hit my dimmer switch..Is that possible or feasible?  I
am an electrical dunce and if it's at all involved, it would beyond my
capability to do without burning out all my lighting circuits...or something
equally bad..

  Would this be sort of how to do it?  Take power from a big source, like
say the fan motor directly to the KC lights.  Install a good relay (and a
fuse, of course.) in that line.  Now what?  From my newly purchased aux
light switch..I could go to that relay..but I'd like that to only activate
when the headlights are on high beam mode..Would I use a wire from the
highbeam circuit and a resistor of some sort...between the switch and the
relay, perhaps with a second relay...Lost now...
