I have searched and searched several months now trying to find out how to add some relays to my lx470 which is ground switched. The best I have found is that when wireing the relay.
Normal relay wiring would have +positive power from switch going to 86, constant ground going to 85, +power direct from battery going to 30, and 87 would be +power out to accessory which has constant ground....
For ground switching I am hoping I understand this correctly:
I would have switched ground going to 86, constant +positive going to 85, ground direct from battery going to 30, and 87 would be ground out to accessory which has constant power?
or possibly
I would have switched ground going to 86, constant +positive going to 85, +power direct from battery going to 30, and 87 would be +power out to accessory which has constant ground?
All help is appreciated and I really am not as simple minded as this post may lead you to believe.

Once I can figure out the ground switching relay. I intend to
- rear work light on a spdt switch with on with reverse lights, constant on, and off
- all forward facing offroad lights relayed to only be switched on with high beams
- rock/puddle lights relayed off of leftover wiring from facory step lights, on a spdt switch with on when any door opens, constant on, and off
