Hello all,
I am stuck in a rather simple, yet confusing quandary..
I'm working on designing a light kit for a Honda side x side utility vehicle. We are planning on drawing power from the back of the existing cigarette lighter auxiliary outlet on the instrument panel, and running the power to a simple ON/OFF switch to turn the driving lights on and off.
The question that I have is rather simple, or maybe it's just a case of the 'Mondays', but frankly, I'm quite lost... The cigarette lighter is only rated at 15amps, therefore, because we will be drawing power off the back of the cigarette lighter auxiliary outlet, we will have to ensure that the outlet is disabled when the driving light switch is turned ON.. and when the driving light switch is turned OFF, the auxiliary outlet will be re-enabled. How can something like this be achieved??
We will be using 2x 55w driving lights (9.17amps).. If that helps any.
I would really appreciate any and all help as soon as humanly possible! Ahhh, monday's suck! :)
I look forward to my future here in these forums.. looks like ya'll have a good group here! :D
