    That's where the lights are, so why not? I don't have to go all the way to or from the cab to turn them on/off. What if I'm stepping out of the tent in the middle of the night to grab something? I'd have to walk all the way to the cab, then back to get what I needed. Then to the cab just to turn it off...

    Plus I have nowhere I want to put the switch in the cab.

    Nope. I used the wire that ran to the small halogen bulb for the ash tray. I cut the wire back when I put my cb there. I just pulled it out and used it to tell the lights when to turn on.

    Go select whichever switch you want, and in the drop down menu select the switch with the number J1D1JBBB.

    That's the part number for the switch you want...

    Go to the bottom of this page open the drop down menu and find the one that says that part number. Should say the following:

    V1D1JBBB- BLUE UPPER DEPENDENT, BLUE LOWER DEPENDENT



    And before you ask later on, here's the wiring diagram for that switch haha

    Yup, any questions on the wiring just let me know. Took my a couple dry-runs in my head to make sure I was thinking straight when wiring it haha

    I'm just glad everything worked the first time without an issue...

    You think Blue on top would look good or Red/Blue or Amber/Blue

    I'm pretty OCD, so if I was going for blue accents I'd want it all to match. Too many contrasting colors would bug me.... :eek:
