[QUOTE="sellers, post: 124633, member: 2357"] Thought I'd draw a quick diagram to help clear things up. Is this how you mean? [IMG]http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y182/tom_vw/emlight.jpg[/IMG] If so, you have 2 options when wiring in this way. You either take the supply to the 1 way switch from the switched or unswitched side of the key switch. This is the way I would wire it, so when switching the keyswitch it switches off all normal lighting and activates the EM lighting. You can however take the 1 way feed from the unswitched side and then when switching all lights remain on and emergency lights switch over to thier battery. It is difficult to see whats what with the second option and you would have to take the neutral out of the DP switch and connect it though. [/QUOTE]
