Headlight wiring

I've retaining the left sierra stalk, and using toggle switches for side/dipped and fog lights.

Does the following look right, and what current rating cable do I need for the relay control wires (highlighted blue)? The numbers at the live end of circuit represent connections in the CBS wiring module.

your fog light will only work with side lights - should work with dipped beam - so take the fog switch supply and take it from the dipped relay 87
my fuses are 15A for the headlights and are fine
dont forget to add to the side light circuit (which must be on with dipped beam and main) your
number plate light
interior dash guage lights / switch illums (if fitted)

Presumed looking at it, that the three position switch would cause both the side and dipped outputs to be high when in the third position.
- Ie, the sidelights will always be on with the dipped.

My car just had one of those, followed by a switch to toggle between dipped and main.
- Only downside being you can 'flash' someone with the headlights. (and its not stalked mounted)

Yes should have said the light switch is Off - On(1) - On(1+2). I've added dash lights and rear numberplate light now, thanks
