Side lights - permanent live?
Do side lights have to be powered from a permanent live and dipped / main beam powered from the ignition?
The switch I bought from CBS only has 3 pins so all the lights have to be powered from the same source. I'm a bit annoyed because the hazard
switch I bought from them also has 1 fewer pin than is actually needed.

Could you wire the hazards and the side lights from a permanent live and run the "out" side of the mains through a relay that only works
when the ignition is on?

The CBS switch is the simplest way of wiring the lights. Personally I would have the headlights powered from a switched live so that you can't
make the easy mistake of leaving the headlights on when parked - one advantage of using the Sierra switchgear.

When thinking outside the box doesn't work any more, it's time to build a new box
