So, I am sure there is a circuit that can be created with the use of relays to do this. However, I am a total newbie, if even that when it comes to doing electrical work in a car. I have read stuff about relays on this site, and I still have questions, many questions.
 
So, with that said, can someone help me out with an  easy to understand description on how to complete this task.
 
I have a 1970 Triump TR6 that I want to add driving lights to. I found a very cool switch that I want to use. Trouble is, is that it is a momentary switch. The guy at the electronic store who sold me the switch off course told me that a circuit could be created to use this switch with relays to turn on the lights, but he didn't know how.
 
I want to use this one switch to turn on, and then turn off the driving lights whenever the switch is pressed. The driving lights should only turn on when the ignition is on.
 
Can someone help with this task?

Will the "Single pulse to lock/unlock" circuit work this way to power on and off the lights if it is modified?
 
Can someone confirm?
