55.2-59 Wiring Relays for Turn Signals/Parking Lights

[daveshilling]

I'm wiring up the headlight relays, and they're relative straightforward, but the parking lights/turn signal combos, that one is giving me a headache. Maybe it's just not worth the hassle to have the parking lights on a relay, I just think it would be cool to have them a bit brighter (tail lights too!)

What I'm looking to do:

(All fresh wiring, zero factory copper) Using the factory headlight switch:


Switch in position 0: turn signals function and get 12v from the battery via relay, but no parking lights.

Switch in position 1: parking lights on, 12v from the battery via relay, turn signals interrupt the parking lights

Switch in position 2: headlights on, parking lights on, 12v from the battery via relay, turn signals interrupt the parking lights

Right now, I'm triggering the headlight low and high beam relays with the respective wires that would just normally go to the lights themselves. I have 3 more wires left in the EZ-Wire kit... parking lights, turn signal left, and turn signal right.

Any thoughts? Scrap the parking light relay nonsense?
