Darn. I was hoping the LOW stayed ON when switched to HI. But nope.

So.. I dont have a easy solution.

Diodes will have to be used. It will be a PITA to wire up.

no worries, I was hoping it was something I missed but I thought I tried it. Anyways, it isn't a big deal b/c I have other led light bars mounted if I ever needed more lights. Thanks for your suggestion anyway...

What about using a relay instead of diodes? Something similar to a HID relay harness maybe?

Are you guys wanting both fixtures to light on high?
Floods on low and spots and floods on high?

Not sure if a relay will work. A relay is basically a switch but diodes is suppose to allow flow one direction similar to a check valve.

Ok...after doing a little more research, I stand to be corrected. I believe a relay may be what I need although I also think a diode will work as well. Here's a video I found recently explaining how a relay(relays) are used in a "low and high beam" configuration. Not sure if this link will work but here it is.......

Ya, if you want to re-wire and re-design the whole switch/OEM relay system.
For me. I would want to retain the OEM switch/system.

Low = 1 cube on Flood
HI = both cubs on Flood + spot

I think I'm gonna try the diode route first. on my previous diagram I drew up, I think all I have to do is add a diode on the 2nd wire running back to led light pod #1 from the high beam wire....so that when I turn on low beam it will prevent power going back to led light pod #2.

I liked those in Talon, look good in Pioneer. Nice job. Do they vibrate at all.
