Robert,

Run a separate fused wire direct from your battery, and use the current to
the "parking" lights to trip the relay.  So, if you turn off your parking
lights, the aux lights will go out too.
Now, put a switch between your "direct wire" from your battery at the aux
lights.  There is a factory switch available that fits right by your
rear-window defog switch.

That's how I did it, and it works great... as I can elect to run the aux
anytime I want, even with the high-beams on.  And, all I have to do to shut
them off is either use the new switch or turn off my headlights / parking
lights.

Hope this helps!

Jack

Subject: Wiring of New Front Aux Lights - Question

So I have a set of existing Hella aux driving lights with relays and
remote switch already wired. I also i have 100watt bulb wiring upgrade
kit installed for the main hi/low beams. Now my question.. however
silly....

I have a new set of hella lights and I am wondering can I connect
these to the same hot and ground wires that I am using for the
existing hella lights? (by way of splitting into 2  hot and 2
grounds?)  or is this just a way to instantly blow all the fuses?
