@GrouseK9 @gurka01
I have also hooked up the auxilairy High Beams to the violet/purple which triggers an relay to power them up.
Works fine if I put the light switch on manual . Does not work in normal Auto setting of Auto/HB.
So something to overrule this of do we need An canbus8 module ?
Same for my auxilairy position lights they work now with manual Low Beam and High Beam ,I hooked them direct to the blue/green wire .( Only 1 watt each )



Working on a flash module mounted behind the BCM /GWM to indicators front & rear & my auxilairy indicators.

That depends on the relay, I have a 40amp relay which is completly silent. ( Needed to measure if it was functioning )

I installed Vulkan lights - anyone can help me to located a circuit to connect an electric relay to? The idea is to have this relay activated when ignition is on or car is running.

As I’ll not install a winch, can we use that circuit to turn relay on/off. Question is where is the junction box B engine ?

im interested in this product. Do you have photos or videos of what it looks like at night? I’m hoping it’s good for high speeds on rural highways. Any drawbacks to the lightbar?

I can try to get some night shots within the next week or so. I use it off road and highway driving all the time, no issues and great visibility
