i am confused, you said when car is on, you want lights on, but then you said when the cars is on, you want then off, and you want switch on all the time. If this is the case you just need to hook a switch up and leave it on, then hook lights to another switch and maybe hide that one. I think you may need to make yourself a bit more clear. I am sure someone here can help you out.MattP

#85 & 86 are the two that make the relay function. One of them goes to ground, and the other goes through the toggle back to the keyswitch. doesnt matter witch way you hook these two up.
Wire up #30 to the battery, and #87 to your lights. -

lighted toggle switch? "Ground" is of corse ground... find a screw somewhere hidden under the dash thats going into metal put an eye connector on it and screw it down... "Supply" hooks up to any wire u can find under the dash that is only hot with the ignition on... "Load" will hookup to #85 or 86 on the relay... -
