    I’m looking into getting a handful of Baja Design Lights and I’d like to have a good rocker switch panel for them to be wired to, but would like the most simple wiring setup. I would like the switch panel to be located overhead, by the sunglasses holder and traction control buttons.

    The lights I’m planning on starting off with are:
    -Squadron Sport fog light replacement
    -Squadron Pro as ditch lights
    -20” S8 in the pocket of my front bumper
    -(4) S1 mounted on the bed closer to the cab (2) on each side

    Also, what is a good Low/High beam, reverse light, license plate light, And interior lighting LED replacement?

    We run the Switch Pros 9100. Install was clean and easy, and it's packed with features.

    Yea I’ve heard alot of good things about the simplicity and features of the Switch Pro, they’re cool and all, but I like the feel of actual rocker switches.

    Here's a link to a 4 switch panel by the dome light, you have to hack it up to get the passenger side switch installed though:

    As for LED's, you can't go wrong with MESO's interior replacement dome and map lights.
    Map Lights:

    Dome Lights:
    https://mesocustoms.com/collections/toyota-tacoma-3rd-gen/products/ultimate-dome-light

    As far as the other lights, it is highly recommended not to use LED's for headlights or high beams. This has been discussed to death on this forum, but a member has done extensive testing to show what your best options are.
    For headlights:
    https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/3rd-gen-hid-vs-led-vs-halogen-h11-projector-headlights.589465/

    If you scroll to the bottom of his first post in that thread, you'll see links to his other comparisons, including reverse lights. Hope this helps!
