Mirror side lights

[onebob]

Everyone knows the mirror side lights go off at 6 mph. Looking at a schematic I seems the easiest way
to make them stay on is to wire the buttons to the headlight hot under the dash. I don’t think it is necessary
to add a aux switch.

How do you mean? Which schematic are you looking at?

The headlight/foglight/spotlight “switch” is actually just a controller that doesn’t directly send power to any exterior lights. It only connects to the BCM (via LIN bus) and Passenger Door Module.

If a button is pressed, those modules check the criteria for that request, and if criteria are met, like speed limit for the spots, the modules send power to the lights.
