    Just wanted to get back to you guys and let you know That the Meso stealth switch install went perfectly. I left switch on the left hooked to ECT switch and the right hooked to the view switch as Caribe helped me/us with…… it works perfectly cycles thru the different camera views. May change ECT later as the KDMAX tune pretty much makes the ECT not needed for me……..

    How would you go about wiring ditch lights to the right switch? I have the caliraised ditch lights and the wiring harness coming from the relay has 3 wires on it. A black, blue, and white wire. I believe the blue wire is for illumination, the white is for positive and black for the negative. Not sure which wires from the pigtail connector go to which. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Like this using the PAC TR-7 (don't forget to program it as I did):

    Or you can use @oostroma remote latching relay here:

    I have no idea how to program a PAC TR7....from the image, it looks like the blue wire from the lights go to the PAC TR7 and one of the wires from the shift knob goes to the brown wire on the PAC TR7. You ground the other wire from the shift knob but what do you do with the other 2 wires from the lights?

    The TR7 is easy to program once installed. You simply move the switch to program mode and click the button 3 times. If you don't like the wiring then you might try boomer's option.

    Was I correct on the wiring though? Do I just cap off the other 2 wires coming from the light harness?

    It looks like you'll use both wires, but not use the blue one. See around 3:00 here:

    Do you have the Spartan X hood scoop light? If so, how did you hook it up? I connected mine to the meso stealth shift knob but it's only a momentary switch that won't stay on unless I hold it.

    Not the OP.
    Purchase what is called a latching relay. This will solve the issue.

    I just bought a 17" Single Row LED Light Bar on Ebay back in 2018 for $40 and just used some 3m Tape to hold it in place. fits nice and tight, left the grill in also. it won't light the road but will light signs and trees on back roads,
    I also have a AUXBEAM 32 INCH 180W CREE COMBO STRAIGHT LED LIGHT BAR (5D PROJECTOR LEN) Behind the grill also down low for $80 at the time.

    This is what i did YES IT IS VERY CRUDE I drew it by hand on my tablet, so it is what it is..
    i have 2 ways of turning on the hood light. momentary with the switch and a over ride button when i have the bottom light bar on only, so i don't leave it on down the road (the cops will not like that)

    Hope this helps

    The problem with that setup is you can't flash the light fast to get someone attention, As to give someone the right away or to turn at a intersection or let someone in traffic go first.(or people)
    Just my use of the light sometimes

    I designed this IC that has 2x latching relays and 1x regular relay to work with my shift knob illumination mod. The latching relays work as fast as you can trigger them.
