Light bar wiring diagram was created by Jimny1990
Evening chaps
I have bought the below wiring kit from eBay, with the intention of wiring a LED light bar to my jimny.
I wanted it so I had 3 options. 1st On, 2nd off and 3rd on when the high beams are is on.
Looking at the wiring diagram, will I have high beam option ? Or is this the wrong type of switch.
Thanks

Just to make sure I understand.
1. You want ONLY the light bar
2. OFF
3. Turns on together/with the high beams

Is this correct?

OK.

That means you have option 1 and 3 in an OR state. It means that if you trigger either those conditions, the bar should be on. It also means that if you trigger both at the same time, you should still have the bar on.

It is fully possible to do with that kit there, at least from what I see from the pictures, the loom is just based on the switch only. What you can do is parallel connect the switch, with a relay (Open state gate), and control the relay with the switch on from the high beams.

Think of it like this: You have two switches, side-by-side, where either of them turns on the bar. If both are on, still on. Now one switch is replaced by a relay, that is hooked up to the high beams over the control terminals on the relay.

Does it make sense?

Thank you for your reply. Would I not need a 5 pin switch for this?

Would I be right in thinking that is part of the circuit is for the illumination of the switch?
