    is there an oem style switch that is split into 2 smaller switches?

    I have a 2016 OR and 1 blank pannel. I want to do ditch lights and a bumper light bar, with separate control of each. The Cali raised pannel has 3 spots. That would leave me with one blank. Is there an option that could do both in one slot that I already have near the shifter (without wiring together)?

    I want to have these options:
    1) off
    2) bar on
    3) ditch lights on
    4) both on

    Looks like my two options are a 4 position rotary switch, or using a microcontroller to program one switch to control multiple fixtures depending on the number of button presses it receives. If anyone has seen a dual rocker switch that fits into one slot, please sent it my way.

    Short of finding a dual switch, a microcontroller is probably easiest. There is probably a way to cycle through lights with relay logic, but I'd have to find more coffee to think about that.
