I’m in a constant battle between using aftermarket solutions or trying to rig up through the OEM switches. I’ve been able to run 4 circuits for 7 aux lights on my D2 using a D1 three switch panel to replace the D2 ashtray + 1 left of steering switch, and will be adding lockers, which I hope to install in the dummy buttons to the right of steering wheel. Trying to work with the OEM wiring, as an electrical novice has been daunting though.
I admire your determination. I got my one set of lights working from a spare cruise control switch, and had planned to use another OEM switch panel in place of the ash tray, but the switch itself was really inconsistent and I gave up on that. Using all OEM switches is a pretty cool move, for sure.
@@tfrasca142 Where I find these pods not applicable is when you want a specific action to your relay, like the headlight brights activating an aux light relay
This looks really simple Tyler! Great idea, I could do with this I have wires all over my engine bay 😂
I highly recommend it. Couldn’t really be simpler.
Looks like this is Rover project 1001 to add to my list! 😁
Thanks for the share!
Looks great! Glad you liked the spot.
Oh boy, do i have some old wiring that i could remove with this gadget! (or 3)
Nice clean install and explanation.
Cheers for sharing.
Glad you like it! They also make one with 8 switches. I want one for all my cars now!
cool stop motion!
Great tutorial!!!!
7 star scale lmao wtf man

May I ask how to collaborate with you and how to contact you
if you want to add spotlights but tap it on with high beam while using this how would you connect to it?
I don’t know if you could use this switch panel for that. I think you’d have to run a relay triggered by the high beam switch.
This would fit well in non-sunroof trucks. That whole panel is blank.
Good call. I really wish mine didn't have sunroofs. I don't know about where you live, but around here SD trucks are so rare.
I started adding lights before the prevalence of switch pods, so i have relays as far as the eye can see 😅🤦
Admittedly, I only recently realized that these switch panel things have internal relays. Now I’m going to recommend it to everyone I see haha.

paint the screws
That or get some black screws. One of the two.
Great vid thanks but annoying music! Cheers.
Haha, thanks. Sorry about the music. What should I have used?
None
Too expensive!
Are there many less expensive options?
This is the way! Greetings from @ramblinglando
