Abstract
An auxiliary lighting system using a vehicle's electric plug is disclosed. A signal may be transmitted from the plug to an auxiliary implement attached to a vehicle. The signal may be sent through a wire bundle (wiring harness). The auxiliary lighting system does not require rewiring of the vehicle's wiring harness. A normally closed relay pack is included with the auxiliary lighting system that prevents simultaneous operation of the vehicle's headlights and the auxiliary lighting system.
