using hoffman led switches, need advice ....

[greendreams69]

I know someone done this before and I need advise. I installed hoffman led round switches for lights (high,low,dome), windshield (high & low ) as well as trunk/hood,turn,hgh beams. I understand turn, bright, hood/trunk, and just need advice on lights (3 switches) and windshield (2 switches) and advice would be greatly taken. I know on the windshield there are 3 wires and plenty on the lights.

Mate I'd love to help...I used the same switches (but without the LED circle outer edge) for windows and trunk, but I had em professionally installed by a sparky....I could ask him for advice if you get really stuck

Depends on what you are trying to accomplish...

For lights, you could just wire each button to a circuit; 1-Low Beams, 2-High Beams, 3-Dome Light. if you don't want to be able to turn on high beams unless the low beams are already on, then you can wire power through the low beam switch into the high beam switch. I would highly recommend that you use relays to power the lights though. I see you have a 69 camaro so you might want to use the switch for the headlights and then route the power through the floor dimmer. You could also use relays to setup the switch for; push once=low beams, push again=high beams, push again=lights off.

For the wiper, that's going to be a bit tougher depending on which wiper you are using. I'm using an aftermarket unit on my 69 that has a special switch that powers the park circuit when I turn it off.

It might help to understand how you want the switches to work. Based on that, we could provide you with a circuit that shows you how to accomplish it. by the way...I used similar buttons in my car, but for lights and wiper, I bought Ron Francis Synergy series switches that match the buttons quite well. There's a picture of my dash in this thread.
