I would like to use the headlight switch w/ Fog lights in my GT350 as a kill switch for a radar detector. I emailed the folks at starkey who manufacture the harnesses for the GT350 fog light kit and they provided some information, but I’m just hoping to see if anyone around here has done anything like this.
From what I’ve been able to discern the signal from the fog light is using pulse width modulation to trigger a solid state relay to control the fog lights. So my plan is to buy a solid state relay (starkey wants $65, but I’m not sure what I would need so I’m thinking of just getting this as it is “known to work”). Then run a tap from an accessory triggered fuse and a ground to the relay then plug my radar detector hardwire kit into that.
Any thoughts or help would be greatly appreciated.
I’ve been lurking here for ages and figured it was time to try and tap the collective knowledge so I don’t end up buying a bunch of things that won’t work.
Thanks again
