From the vehicle's light switch.
It assumes you have existing headlamps that you want to flash.
When wig-wag is off, the headlights connect normally to the vehicle's light switch via NC contacts 87a & 30.
The "light switch" is (IMO) "beam power" - ie, the low- or high-beam.   This is after the dip-switched relays unless dedicated low beams - whichever is being waggled.
With apols if I have misinterpreted.
And not wanting to confuse, but FYI for consideration:
Alternatives exist like using the feed off your hazard flashers instead of your own flasher can with hidden load (bulb etc) - hence it wig-wags only with hazard lights on.
[PS - In retrospect, maybe not....] Or maybe use the relays in the gnd side of the beams - hence independent of the beam selection (but you must switch the beams on) BUT that might cause all beams to be half-on except for the side that is grounded.
And it is better NOT to introduce ANOTHER switching pole - ie, if hard-grounded, keep it that way and switch the (already switched) +12V side instead.

i was going to hook it up to a set of aftermarktet fog/driving lights so i would just go to the switch for that?
