Hi, yeah I understand, the problem with jimny is the trigger wire for the main beam is a - negative so a earth can be used, to trigger it, I havnt got a illuminated switch.

So I was gonna use the negatives on my switch, and just break the earths by the switch.

But I can see your point, either way will work for what I can make out without trying.

Tell me if I'm wrong again tho,

Ok roof light working with my main beam, l'm happy now at last.
I wired it up the same as in this relay picture, and just add a live from the relay fuse to the ground on the switch.
