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 I=E2=80=99d like =

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 =

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.
