Hello, I was wondering if anyone could help me with a little wiring.  I have two LED lights that are currently hooked up to an ON/OFF switch, but I was trying to wire them so that they would come on when my lights went on.  To do this, I found out that the BLACK / YELLOW wire from my light switch is the parking lights.  I cut into that wire and wired from that to my LED lights, and when I turned on my parking lights it blew the fuse.

Can anyone offer any help on how to do this?  I was also going to try to wire my auxillary driving lights to my brights, so they would automatically come on with my brights.  As much info as you can give will be appreciated.  Thanks!

Use Relays, relays only take up 150 miliamps,

jook up the wire that you tapped into to the 86 pole of a relay and ground to the 85 pole and to the 87 the led lights you want to turn on the and the 30 pole to the positive to feed the wires. leave 87a with no connection.
Do the same thing for your auxillary lights... just change the above pole of 87 to your auxillary lights...
Good luck...
