popup headlight trigger from dipped beam

Now that's a good one. Let me see hmmmm

This is what I came up with.

Two Constant to Momentary Relay Circuits powered by the relay that will be flipped from one position to the other by the Headlight circuit.

Here is another one I came up with that uses fewer components.

The only draw back of these circuits is they may get out of sequence. You may need to keep the push button across the output just incase they are reversed. You would need to push the button as a Reset to synchronize the circuit.

Reset Switch Added

The Diodes are there to stop the EMF Spike as the magnetic field on the coil colapses.

ANY 1 AMP DIODE OR BETTER WILL WORK.

The Relays are usually found at almost any Stereo Shop. Normally used for Car Alarm purposes.

Best Buy and Circuit City usually stock them in their Install Bays but not in the Store.

Or you could buy two DPDT Relays At Radio Shack

Radio Shack is a good source.
