I have disabled my DRLS and want to have my angel eyes on a switched power source. I have it wired to 12v constant on a switch but am looking for switched power to run them. Can someone give me a diagram or direct me somewhere on how to use a basic 5 pin relay to run switched power? I will run the accesory power from my deck accessory, 12v from the aux bat power, and ground to ground, and the switched power to my angel eyes. I just dont think I have any accessory power with enough juice to fully light the angel eyes as bright as they can be. Anyways, id rather run from th ebattery and use a relay to make it "switched" power. Thanks guys.

So would I use the "Connecting Additional Devices to the Remote Turn On Wire" way of wiring it?? Have my angel eyes connected to pin 30 so that when 86 gets the signal from my "remote turn on" from my Clarion deck, it will go to the 12V constant power to run my angel eyes? Then when ignition is off and 86 no longer gets the signal from the deck, the lights will shut off and no power will flow through 87 to 30?? Is that correct way or how it works??

87 - constant 12v
86 - Remote wire (trigger wire)
85 - Ground
30 - Accessory (angel eyes)
EDIT: You should put an inline fuse on all additional 12v connections to the battery, fuse relay box or any unfused direct 12v source.
