    So I purchased 4" rigid 360s to use as ditch lights. I currently have this setup and have the cali raised ditch light switch already installed and ready to wire to the new lights. It slipped my mind that the 360s have a rocker switch with 3 positions: off, backlight, and full led. Unfortunately, I dont think I'll be able to use the cali raised switch and get the full effect. Unless I am wrong and theres a way to rig something. I am wondering if there is a switch that fits below where I circled red to utilize this spot as the backlight. Or a switch that fits where the current ditch light switch is. How are you guys wiring these kinds of lights up?

    Yeah Ive looked high and low for a solution. Do you think something like this would work? Looks like it could work with the cali raised panel https://www.ebay.com/i/143426343037...MIvqK504i86QIVi4TICh2xbgGwEAQYBSABEgJlbvD_BwE

    It might depending how you wire it, you could have the backlit on one switch and the other the main on and off?

    @caribe makaira

    Any thoughts?

    That switch has independent switch illumination so it's great. It's size is also compatible with that location. But it can only handle 3 amps max.
    Does the cube light allow back light and full at same time?

    P.S. You would need to turn the DRL mode off before full brightness.

    I don't think the back-light can run at the same time as the main LED. So this really could work then?

    As long as you turn OFF the DRL before selecting the FULL illumination.
    What is the AMPS for the full LED?

    OP, remove the blank and measure the opening.
    See if it is the same:

    OP, have you completed this setup yet? I'm considering doing this exact setup but would love to see a picture first. Can you post something?

    Unfortunately they aren't on yet. As soon as I get to it I'll be sure to post. Im going to have a shop do these along with raptor lights that are still in the mail. I ended up getting that eBay switch and it seems like it'll work; fits perfectly and has that extra wire for the backlight. I'm going to sub that with the cali raised ditch light switch I currently have now as a placeholder. Check back in a week!
