Default Offroad light wiring

I just got done wiring up my KCs on the A-pillar with DETOURS brackets and now Im in the process of wiring four 4x6 baja lights on my front bumper and was curious how I can hook the 2 outside lights to the headlight switches and the other 2 to the highbeams. so when I have the high beams on I have the 4 baja lights on as well as the headlights. can anyone help me out with this?? electrical is not my strong suit...at all. getting the KCs going was a miracle in its own

With a standard relay like this.



Hook 86 to the positive 12 wire going to your headlights (with a switch between there and the relay).

Hook 87 to the lights.

30 to the battery.

85 to ground.

This way you could have the lights come on with the high beams and still turn them off if you didn't want them.
