you need an off-on-on switch to do what you want. It is possible to get that switch to do that, but it will be beyond your capabilities (you wouldn't need to ask if you had them) and you still need to purchase other items to do it so you might as well get the right switch instead.
Wiring a dual mode LED light bar
What’s up my polaris peeps! In need of your help in wiring up a dual mode led bar to rocker switch. It has outer amber lights and middle white lights. It came with a really cheap danky toggle switch. But that switch can power on the ambers only or whites only individually with their own toggle, or flip both on and run the whole bar at once.
The harness has 4 wires coming from the relay to the switch( black, blue, red & white ).
The led bar has black, red(white leds) & white wire(amber leds).
how can I wire the 4 wires from the harness to a 3 position 7 pin rocker switch to install on my dash ? The rocker switch function is ON-OFF-ON. I’d like for the ON(flipped down) to only power on ambers and ON(flipped up) to power on both ambers and white.

i’d be removing that connecter and adding female spade connectors for the rocker switch.

Well that blows. & I can’t even find and off-on-on switch. I even tried looking on Baja’s website for their onyx 6 dual mode led bar and they sell their harnesses with little small individual toggle switches too. So Everyone with dual mode bars are either running the janky switch or run 2 toggle switches and drills their dash out to mount them? What other items were you referring to Besides relay, fuse, harness & switch ? Thanks
if it’s not doable then my last resort will be to just use a different same wattage harness and miss out on the dual function of the bar.

If Terminals 1/2/3 are isolated from 4/5/6, this should work. Otherwise, you'd need a diode like FTM mentioned.
EDIT: Note, the power wire would need to come from ignition/accessory power if there's an LED for the "off" position. If there's not, you can use the power wire in the harness. I don't know.
