I am trying to figure out how to wire something to turn on when the key is turned then automatically turn off when the engine is started/on then turn back on when the engine is off but the key is still turned on.
I would like to wire a couple small LED strips or bulbs to help with parking at night. Might also add a light sensor to the circuit as well so it only turns the circuit on at night under the above conditions.

You'll need a relay with a normally closed switch, powered by the stator, which will open when the stator is putting out enough juice to activate it, and will return to the closed state when the stator is not putting out juice. The power for the device hooked up to this relay will come straight from the battery, so no AC components.

John I have 4 pin regulators and have a 5pin new regulator and new stator in my parts bin. No 7 pin. I am working on putting the circuit on 50cc scoots.

so you working single phase, then JerryScript nailed it. you need a normally closed relay with a 12vac coil. so when the engine is running the relay is energized and the lights are off. When you turn the key on and the engine is off the key feeds power to the switch part of the relay and the lights are on , turn the key off everything is deenergized. John
