Hi, I have a LED light bar installed on my truck that works just fine. Now I want to install fog lights, I have a On-off-on rocker switch and would like it to work so that I can have both the Light bar and Fog lights on or just the fog lights. I have 2 relays one has 2 87 pins on it and the other is just a regular 4 pin. The problem I am having is how do I make this work without back feeding to the light bar. I have included a picture, hope this helps!

You just need to add a diode (1N4004).

For simplicity sake I've ignored 87a, not used anyway.

All the same, the most commonly available diode.
Solder.
Daft questions.
