    Morning TW,

    Since every question I ever wanted to know has been answered on here I've got a new one for you? I'm sure this is been discussed but I couldn't find it. Anyway...

    I just purchased a 30" SR Light bar for the space below my grille/ above the bumper, as well as a set of Dually Side Shooters to use as ditch lights. My original plan was to use a new Switch Pro 9100 to control these from the small cubby to the left of my steering wheel. Upon farther review, while I may still add one someday, I was looking at almost $800 for switches/ panel ext. It just seemed like too much right now with all the overlanding parts I'm collecting.

    I googled around and found that @CaliRaisedLed sells this.

    https://caliraisedled.com/products/2016-2018-toyota-tacoma-oem-style-switch-panel
    [​IMG]

    for about $15 bucks. Since honestly I'd like to have 3 switches (LED Bar, Ditch lights, Back-up lights) a 3 switch solution is perfect for me right now.

    So my question is...

    Does anyone know if, or how to make, the Rigid wiring harness hook to the appropriate switches for this panel? After that it seems easy enough, run the wires, mount the relays up under the dash and call it a day right?

    Thank you all a million for your help!!!!!!!

    -Yota

    Brilliant!!! Why doesn’t it surprise me that this has a thread. Thank you. So after market switches that are OEM style are wired the same? I’ve never had a OEM out and haven’t ordered the aftermarket yet.

    That would be fine. Way way cheaper than switch pro. Is there a panel that will fill that little cubby that fits the actual oem switches that anyone knows about? @CaliRaisedLed maybe will chime in and let us know if his panel accepts actual oem switches? Thanks for all the input so far!!!!

    Ok i ordered the three switch pannel from @CaliRaisedLed and checked the demensions and ordered three appropriate switches from CH4X4. Anyone know how I can wire my rigid lights (bar and duallys) to the CH4X4 switches? Hoping it makes sense once i see them. I’ll take pictures if no one responds when i get around to this (won’t be until my dual battery kit is in though)

    Thanks

    You ordered wrong switches if you are getting those panels... I wrote an instruction thread on this:

    *Edit: may have ordered wrong switches.

    I don’t think i did... the Calirasisedled pannel says “Fits our OEM style switches” which according to the website are 39mm X 20mm.

    The CH4X4 switches i ordered are 39mm X 21mm so i guess it’s a 1mm difference but the switch is plastic so it should go, or as you said in your post i can touch the side with a fine file.

    I think i got it right, but it’s hard to be sure i guess???

    Oh ok, ya you got the right size. I’m used to the original ch4x4 switch sizes which was their rocker switches.
