I just added some driving lights that I wanted to turn on when the high beams are on. I tapped in to the high beam wire at the plug where it plugs in to the headlight. I got out the multi-meter to make sure I had the correct wire for the high beams. When I tested the wire it was 10 volts at the plug. At first I thought maybe my battery was low. I checked the voltage at the battery and it was about 12.5 . Does anyone know if the voltage is intentionally stepped down to the headlights or do I have some bad wiring somewhere?

I checked the voltage of the 40 amp fuse for the headlights under the hood and it was 12.5 volts.

I would not suggest putting fog lights on the headlight wireing. I know its the easiest way to do it. But i would run it on a seperate switch with a relay. I have two hella lights that are hooked up in place of my old factory lights. Not done by me but previous owner. When i bought it the headlights would cut out on their own at night. So did the fog lights and the dash lights. Everything would flicker. I pull the healight switch out and it is hotter than a fire cracker. So I figure it was a faulty switch. So i go to a Junk yard and buy another switch for 35 bucks. 24 hours later it started with one fog light going out. When inspecting that light the other fog light went out. I go to look at the switch and all my dash lights are out and then finally my damn runing lights on the back. I have brake lights but the dont light up unless im hitting the brakes.

I feel the switch again and of course its hotter than a firecracker. So im gonna run the fog lights on a seperate circuit in hopes that it was drawing to much amperage and frying the switch. I pray. Cause if that aint the problem then I have no Fing clue.
