    When I did mine, I relay'd into ignition, so I could use them either seperately or together with the high beams.......but as far as the toggle......who needs a toggle.....I went REAL old school:

    You can wire those yourself. If they are driving lights & not fogs you can wire them into the high beam circuit of the car. Hit the high beams & they all light up. Hit them again the high beams & driving lights are off. That way you won't be blinding other drivers.

    Edit.... Here is a wiring diagram.

    Use a relay triggered by the highbeam power.

    Do I need a relay in the circit or just wire them into the High beams? Got you on just wiring them in to the High Beams only.

    I too would use a relay. Much easier on your wiring harness.
