Getting the Wheeling Fever
I have a set of IPF J 01 lights that I want to install.
However, I want to customize the wiring so that I can run any three of the lighting options from the switch.

If I'm understanding the wiring diagram correctly:

1) you can have the fog light come on using mode I and the driving light come on using mode II

or

2) you can have the fog light come on using mode I and the driving and fog light come on using mode II

or

3) you can have the driving light come on using mode I and the driving and fog light come on using mode II

I'm hoping someone out there with these lights has figured out a way to run the driving lights separately (if desired), the fog lights separately (if desired, and have them come on together (if desired) all from the comfort of the driver's seat.

Any help is appreciated.

if i'm reading this right, what you have is a 3 position switch (on,off,on)but you need a 4 position(off,on,on,on). I can't think of a way to wire what you want with a single 3 position switch. you can get a 4 position or run 2 switches. but i'm not an expert, so I could be wrong.

Yup. You need either 2 regular switches or a 4 position switch to do what you want.

Thanks fellas, that's what I thought.
I'm thinking one switch to run the different modes and an on off switch run directly to the battery. I'm planning on giving it a direct power source so I'm not confined to only using them with the engine running (camp set up, etc...).

Thanks for the confirmation!
I'll try to post a few pics once they're installed.
