    So, I am first doing the electrical work before I install the SSO slimline. I have only two accessories I'm wiring up at this point, the light bar in the bumper and a pair of ditch lights. The switch I have is as shown here... a dual-button-in-a-single-tall-blank- variety to take up the only open switch spot left for my options packages, which is on the left hand side.

    So basically what I'd like confirmation of is how to wire this, as well as my two relays. If what Ive read on here is right, I should run the blue and green wires thru the fire wall to the 86 pin on each relay, ground the black wire, connect the yellow wire to I think the green wire on the bed light switch using a Posi-Tap or similar, and then use an Add-A-Fuse for the red wire. Does that all sound right?

    Then for the relays, so have each switch coming in at 86, 85 to ground, 30 to the Blue Sea fuse block w/ appropriate fuse for the accessory, and 87 to each light themselves (which is also then grounded as well. Does all of that sound correct? I've definitely been reading many threads on the process, and have acquired a ton of tools and hardware for it, just want to make sure I don't do something wrong and then lose my mind trying to figure out the problem after the fact. Thanks!

    Test the wires on the switch, make sure the "legend" is same as the position on the wires. Sometimes the colors don't correspond.

    Ah so like the blue/ green could be backwards? Ok thanks, and what about my relay positions, do those sound accurate?

    The ground on the dual switch can be tied to dash circuit so it can also dim with rest of vehicle switches. I suggest you secure the taps to the vehicle circuit wires so they not wiggle about and severe the wires tapped.
