Ditch Lights

No need for that switch yet. Not enough lights for me to accommodate that. I’ll just get the switch to fill a blank.

 

UPDATE:

The S-TECH switch panel still works great functionality wise. Some of the LED's are burnt out, some are changing different colors for some random reason lol. So, not that impressed in the switch panel.

 

Given how absurdly cramped the area under hood is, I went with a SwitchPros 9100 with an SDHQ mount under hood and the cubby replacement for the panel. Super compact, standard Molex connector (I replaced my leads with fatter and longer wires to reach things in the rear), and highly customizable.

It might be easier with an AT but between the larger master cylinder in the TRD/OR and the clutch reservoir taking up the two tapped holes in the fender, the

$659 SP9100 Switch Pros SP-9100 8-Switch Panel Power System With Concealed Mounting Hardware

SP9100 is a super clean, compact solution that doesn't require a larger fuse/relay box.

 

They’re so pricey though. Hard to justify that much on switches. BUT I also don’t need 8 switches, only about 3 or 4. The TRD Pro has NO room to add switches. I suppose if I needed 8 switches, it might be worth the $

 

TRD pro doesn't have much room, that is true. I used the empty cubby hole on the left of the steering wheel for my switchpros

 

Yeah I would definitely do the same. I think I’m just going to order the 3-switch OEM style switch set for that cubby.

 

I have plans for s2 as ditch lights... Is there a reason why you switched? Were the s2's not cutting it (did you have pros or sports? ).

 

The cramped space is why I ended up going that road after wasting the cash on a relay box and switch setup... There was just no clean place to install the switches or the relay box (MT loses the usual mounting places under hood) so out of frustration, I just clicked buy. Sold the rest at a slight loss and really wish I'd done the SP setup out the gate.

 

Any action shots at night?

 

Cali Raised is the way to go! Just ordered a custom Meso switch to make room for some rear lights. Already installed CaliRaised bumper, ditch and Prinsu light Bar. Love there stuff.
Also waiting for my new 0 degree rock sliders to come in... at that time i will have them install my rear lights to go with my new switch. Lol

 

Switch pro is spendy but wish I had done it from the start. When I put in my light bar, i just used a switch and put it in below the HVAC. When I added my ditch lights I put in my switch pros. There’s lots of customization and you can key it to the ignition, plus no more pulling wires to the cab. It’s a clean and easy setup.

No arguments it’s pricey, but I’ll do it every time from here out. I’m currently only using 2 of the switches, I’ll be doing 2 more here shortly.

Thanks,that's good info. I like the smaller profile of the s2, and was planning on the pros.

I put s2 sports off the back of my prinsu and it is very useful.. I use those lights all the time..

 

@MMoreno16 you think you could send me some more pics in your ditch light set up. Also do they hum at highway speeds?

 

Is it possible to mount the ditch light switch from CaliRaised on at the factory knock out (circled in red) instead of a cubby switch panel?

Yes, these OEM switches will fit that location circled in red.

Please let us know if you have any questions.

Thanks,

 

Yes absolutely

 

That was it. Just put my order in with you guys. Thank you!
