    Wondering if anyone has used one of these 8 switch panels off eBay? It says it’s auxbeam and is really cheap. I have a cheap 6 switch one and was thinking of getting it. Thoughts?

    I love mine. It's almost like a switch-pro without the fancy pants shit and the $600 price tag

    I have one.

    So far so good.

    It lacks the cool features that some of the expensive ones have (ability to assign multiple lights to one button, strobe feature etc) but for a basic, no frills setup it is pretty good.

    Auxbeam is probably the only one I would go with, its not a name brand, but it is known and does have some good products. I'm going to order one soon.

    Nice I don’t need anything fancy. How do you have yours mounted in the engine bay?

    Cali raised has a “wallet friendly” switch panel also. $189. I’ve been satisfied with the Cali raised products I run. That may be an option for me too.

    I bought the 6-gang and installed it. I like it except the panel is on and bright whenever the truck is on. I also have my off-road lights going thru the high beam switch so additional relays were needed outside of the panel. I'm looking at the 8-gang for my class 9 car.

    You have to wire up a temp switch so you can dim the lights

    It is mounted on top of the factory underhood fuse box. Switch panel went in the cubby ahead of the shifter.
