Light bar hookup using relay to the highbeam headlight

[bparker4444]

With past Jeeps, one of which I traded in for my new 2023 Outerbanks, I was able to use a relay switch from my high beams to trigger the light bar. This way, when my high beams were on, the light bar was on. When I needed to dim my headlights because of an approaching car, the light bar went off at the same time without me needing to hunt for the aux switch. Can I do that with my new Bronco? I read somewhere that the electronics are different on these. Anyone have a fix?

I wanted to do the same thing, but i was told that the hibeams are controlled by the canbus, not a discreet tigger wire that can be tapped, so no luck.

I'm relatively sure people do this same thing on the new rangers..

Electrical is nothing but witchcraft to me though so
