Blackout lights on with service lights

[saltman]

Was curious if anyone has wired the blackout lights/switch to function in the service lights position? I would like to use the existing wiring and switches for low draw led utility lights and not lose the service lights function. Was hoping this might be a quick fix/mod with some jumpers, thank you!

Should be easy, connect service- and blackout wires together behind switch itself?

See my thread on a jumper approach to disabling the BO lights. Leaves it in permanent service light position. I have the wiring diagram posted. You should be able to adapt it to your needs.

That helps a lot thank you! Looks like the middle terminals supply the power and I just need to jumper the top and bottom if I still wanted the switch to be able to kill them all in the middle position. Does anyone have a thought on how to do it if one wanted to retain the ability to kill the service lights in the blackout mode, but still have the blackouts function in the service mode? I rather not build a custom harness with diodes etc. to make the aforementioned work assuming that’s what it would take, thank you!

Hmmm. Shooting from the hip, here, without looking at the diagrams:

There is a BO kill switch next to the main switch. If you run the service light power through that switch, you could kill the service lights that way. But you'd need to supply power to the BO lights at the same time.
