    Nah, two HIDs on the bumper for distance and a led light bar on the roof for filler between the fogs and HIDs

    This is very similar to mine. I have the same driving lights switch and a differant reverse light switch. The other two switches on mine are an ABS kill switch and a switch for my inverter. I'll post some pics in a few days.

    Does anyone have pictures of these rockers from OTRATTW during the day (on/off) and at night (on/off). I'm on the edge of ordering and really want to see the difference. Doesn't matter what colors, I just want an idea on what I'll be getting since they're pretty pricey:

    Debating between these:
    Fogs 1

    Off Road Lights 1

    and these:

    The first style switch is the same as what I put in.

    I have the same ones as the first set. The only thing I would say I don't like about them is that you can't see the label at night. I have 4 switches and just installed them so their new to me. I'm sure I'll have them memorized in not time. However, my concern is more for my girlfriend who doesn't drive the truck as often as I do but she does share the driving when we take it on road trips.

    Does the lower light on, mean that the switch is on?


    Yeaaaah, that's a problem. I think I'd wanna go with something I can see at night (especially for your reason) if someone were to drive my truck at night. So I'm thinking Rockers 2's now

    Okay so I have it narrowed down to these two:
    Fog Lights:
    http://www.otrattw.com/proddetail.php?prod=VVPZC4S-17V
    and
    Off Road Lights:
    http://www.otrattw.com/proddetail.php?prod=VVPZCOR-1F1


    If I want the blue switch's lower light to always be on and the upper switch light to be ON when the switch is ON, would I order
    Fog Lights:
    V1D1JBBB - Blue Upper Dependent, Blue Lower Independent

    and
    Off Road Lights:
    V1D1JBBB - Blue Upper Dependent, Blue Lower Independent


    This should be my last question because I've got it narrowed down to this. I'm excited to get wiring and making it look pro-fessional :cool:

    THANK YOU :)

    So on the switches I put in, the lower independent light is wired to my dash light circuit. The upper light comes on when the switch is on (dependent). I have my switches separated by the steering wheel so its easy for me to know what switch controls what.

    I like the idea of pulling the clock. I can't see mine unless I lean over anyway.

    Would these switches fit into the rear diff lock button spot? I would really like to change it so when I get back up lights and fog lights all of my switches match. Thank you!

    If you are looking for a how to on hook up from what I have seen its not too bad and easy to do for lighted switches. Mine came pre-labeled telling me which one needs to go to power, which one to ground and which to the device. It all depends on how much power the item needs and how much power the switch can take. Ex. My Hellas use a relay to properly direct the power because it needs a lot so I have two sources of power to run them and the lighted switch. A large power source to run the lights (that's fed through the relay) and a small 12v power source just to power the switch.

    My led's on the other hand don't need as much power so I only have one power source that runs through my switch and into my leds. So the power goes into my switch to power it and out to my device. The whole installation experience made me learn a fuck ton about car electric work.

    Does anyone know if these switches:
    Fog Lights:
    http://www.otrattw.com/proddetail.php?prod=VVPZC4S-17V
    and
    Off Road Lights:
    http://www.otrattw.com/proddetail.php?prod=VVPZCOR-1F1


    will fit in the spot where the "clock" usually is? I know the blue lensed LEDs will as seen in post #45 (1st picture).

    I'm drawing this out on the plastic clock face (no clock on my trim piece) but it looks like it's just too tight to fit em both on there.... I feel like both types of rockers should be the same dimensions but I'm not sure..
