That won't work with what he wants to do.  You can't go changing things just to make things easier and less complicated!   :)

If the ignition is on the first relay will stay energized connecting the coil of the second relay to pin 87 where no voltage or ground resides.  With the ignition on the first relay will always be energized and the second relay will never energize, since one side of the coil is connected to nothing.

Yes, you could eliminate the second relay by switching the positive, I believe I threw that in the original post that the second relay was only to change polarity of the parking light signal.

Thank you all for all the replies. Will the diagram t&t tech posted work? And yes t&t tech if you could make a diagram that would b great i understand things way better by seeing it more then by reading!!~Mobile Dynamics~

hehe, yea i guess i didnt really break any ground wire with that setup.

It will "work" but not like you want it to.

With that setup whenever the parking lights are on the angel eyes will be on.  There is no "ignition isolation" like in the diagram I provided.  If the parking lights are off you will still be able to use the switch to force the angel eyes on, but like I said once the parking lights are on the angel eyes are on, too.

Do you have an aftermarket alarm or are you using the OEM keyless/security system?

ok eclipse the diagram i posted above, will allow the angel eyes to flash with the alarm, they won't turn on when you switch the parking lights on, and you can still toggle on and off using the switch. the bars coloured in purple are diodes the purple part would be the striped side of your diode, you can use 3 or 6 amp diodes.commit your way to jehovah and he will act in your behalf. psalms 37:5

we were being sarcastic when we said it would'nt work.

i know about sarcasm, but just tryin to help the dude out, the way he asked, i humbly apologize if i offended anyone in any manner, and kevin that original setup would have the relay buzzing. so in a sense it isn't really a plausibe install solution, it only works on paper. and eclipse dude the switching of the hot wire would really be alot easier for you, if you used the diagram ckeeler posted.commit your way to jehovah and he will act in your behalf. psalms 37:5

you didnt offend anybody t&t, dont sweat that, its just that this guy doesnt need to make something so complicated when all he needs is 2 little itty bitty  diodes and nothing more.  KIS, Keep It Simple. thats usually the best way to go.
