    They use the same connector as ch4x4 and many of the switches on Amazon made to fit tall and short switch locations on Tacoma’s. A few times I’ve encountered a problem with the connector. It simply doesn’t make good enough contact with the pins on the switch but the pin outs are all the same, green, red1, red2, black. Wire colors vary but not function by location. Green is switch power, red1 is switch output, red 2 is illumination power, black is ground for both switch leds only and not part of switch circuit otherwise.

    Need to get started planning this out with my first aux lights on the way. I like the OE panel, but I want a neat and tidy way to mount the relays.

    I just realized I never posted it in here:
    I picked up an older style tray from a member on here, and it fit very well.
    Older Paranoid tray, fits a 2017 Sport MT.
    I wrapped my hose coming out of the clutch/master cylinder in some conduit (red) that I had for added protection and used a zip tie to keep it below the tray.
    I was able to fit a 6 circuit Blue Sea fuse block, a negative terminal buss, and 4 relay holder

    Hella also sells a 7 micro relay version that is the same size as the 4 mini relay holder. Part number HELLA H84988011.

    Also Del City has the same ones for like half the price. Hella just re-sells the MTA products, (notice how its stamped MTA on the lid). Here are the Del City links to the 4 mini relay and 7 micro relay holders.

    Here’s the link to the delcity page for the iso micro relays. Not all of the relays are on the “Relay” page, you have to go back one level to find the links for them , including the Song Chuan iso 280’s. https://m.delcity.net/store/ISO-Micro-Relay-with-Resistor/p_822455.h_810153

    How did you guys wire the relays if you have any. I’m using a Blue Sea fuse box and just wondering how you ran power to the fuses and switches.

    Thanks a lot. To my understanding it would be simplest to simply take up 2 slots on the fuse panel. 1 for the relay and 1 for the switch. I’m using the 12 slot Blue Sea Fuse Box. The one where 6 fuses are powered 24/7 and the remaining 6 are powered when the truck is running. I intend to hook up my bed lights and under hood lights to the 24/7 fuses so this way the truck doesn’t have to be running in order to use them. My whole purpose to adding the fuse box is that I don’t want to splice into any factory wires.

    That is how I basically did it as well, I have all of my switches powered by one fuse in the blue sea box since they draw so little amps for the trigger, except I used an add-a-fuse tap into the fuse box so their LEDS are only powered when the truck is on. Then my actual accessories, lights and such can be powered any time, but the LEDS in the switch are only on when the truck is one.
