Disabling the Corner Lights using Relays

[LB]

Let's see who is brilliant with wiring! Here's the case.



I'm wiring halogen strobes to my left and right corner lights (for emergency purposes). However, when I have the strobes on, I want the corner lights to be disabled. I could easily wire a switch to JUST the corner lights so I would switch them on and off but that would be too simple and smart. I'd rather have it rigged so that all I have to do is switch on my strobe pack and they are automatically disabled (only for the duration that the strobes are on - so basically Strobes ON, Corner lights OFF - Strobes OFF, Corner Lights ON).



Can anyone explain how I should do this using relays, preferably only one, but with two if needed. Thanks! LB

you can get a 12 volt relay that has multi out puts n.o and n.c wire the factory lights n.c wire strobes n.o when strobes are turned on it will open the n.o. circuit and close the n.c. circuit.

That's what I was going to suggest as well. Verry common relay to get...
