Default Driving Lights wired ti Hi Beams

How do i wire a pair of driving lights (the ones in front bars) to the hi beams ? So when the hi beam is activated they come on.

where he shows + input from the light( hi beam +) to the relay, you would need to pass thru a switch and then to the relay. Otherwise, spoton

Actually you can have the switch anywhere in the circuit. Easiest way is to have the switch between high beam feed and relay.

i would say it doesnt really matter on which line you put it, i personally just dont like the idea of running a cable from headlighst back into cabin and back to relay. If it should shorten out there goes your high beams, if put on battery positive and it shortens you loose a fuse and the foggys wont works but at least the high beams will

True, but if you run the wire from the high beam switch or fuse (in the car), then the only wire running the length of the bonnet is the one going to the spotties/foggies.
