Im wanting to add 2 LED round lights to the back of my deuce bed where the original reflectors are. 24v lights are 40 bucks each and 12v lights are 10 each. I am wanting to use a relay to drop the voltage and I might be totally wrong here but thats why Im asking!
Using this drawing ( but with a 24v relay ) Get 12v from one of my batteries to batt side of relay. Use 24v from the original tail lights to pull in the coil and that should give me 12v out to the light? I already have a box of old relays I could use or I wouldnt even think about this. If I do it this way I would need 3 relays, 1 for both brakes and 1 each side turn correct? Or will 12v even pull in a 24v coil?
