Hi Jim I did something similar with a electrically operated hood on my
truck project... double pole double throw switch... power feeds on center
contacts. Up relay is fed from upper two contacts when switch is moved up
and the down is fed from lower two contacts when the switch is down.
Center position of switch is off on both. The upper and lower contacts
would feed standard auto relays BUT you can't have both on at the same
time with this setup.,,.,.
these guys can set you up with pretty stuff and even label them the way you
want... I used them in my truck for doors/windows/hood actuators

Subject: [Shop-talk] Fog and Driving Lights
I have long wanted to install 1 fog and 1 driving light on my Alpine, and
have them wired so that I can light either one or both of them. There was a
period 4-position rotary switch for doing this (off - on1 - on2 - on1&2) and
I have one, but it is ugly as sin and Iâ??d like to come up with a more
attractive solution. Ideally, I would like to convert an unnecessary toggle
switch space on the dash to a fog/driving light switch. My hope is to put
in a DPDT momentary switch (something like this one, but hopefully I can
find something more attractive:
https://www.amazon.com/Heavy-Handle-Momentary-Toggle-Switch/dp/B000LFVFA8)
and a pair of latching relays. The tricky part is that Iâ??d need the relays
to latch on with the first pulse and turn off with the second. So, up once
to turn on the fog light, down once to turn on the driving light. Up or
down a second time to turn off either light. Hopefully, that makes sense.
Does anyone know if such a relay exists? If not, is there a simple circuit
that would make a standard relay work as described?
Thanks,
Jim
