There are relays specificcaly designed for hi/low/flash on headlights.
giving :-
Lights on/ignition off = no headlights
Light on/ignition on = headlights on
momentary contact switch toggles between high and low
lights off/ignition on
momentary contact switch flashes headlights on high beam.
Check with your local APS

Subject: [lro] Hi/Lo beams
To start let me say that my truck was long since modified by the time I got
it. Now in trying to re-wire the beast I am coming to some rather important
decisions. For instance, on the old system there was no dipper switch for
high and low beams. There was a military rotator switch to control how many
lights were on (breakfast, wing, front aux., etc.), and a three position
toggle to control high beams. The first position was off so only low beams
were lit. The second position lit the inner high beams, and the third lit
the outer. Any of you that know the typical scenario will recognize that
this leaves ALL the filaments burning, high and low on all four headlights!
That's a huge draw on the electrical system. My electrically non-inclined
brain can't see a way to reproduce a dipper style switch using relays and
standard toggles. Is it possible? Though I like the immense light the old
system threw out, my delco couldn't keep up. Even now with a high output
unit I don't want a constant heavy load like that being imposed. Any help
in general with the wiring would be appreciated. Currently the wiring
diagram is being 'muddled' together.
