    i bought the Matt Gecko LED bed lights dual switch kit like two months ago and I still can’t figure out how to wire it into the cab. The bed switch works, but the cab switch I’m still working on. I got both the long black wires from the power wire into the cab, but how does it attach to the switch? There are 4 wires on the switch (red, red, black, and green) and it looks like I’m attaching them to two wires. Do I just crimp them all together?

    Green is 12v source.
    Red 1 is switched power out to relay/lights (3a max).
    Red 2 is illumination for the switch (tap dimmer circuit on cargo switch).
    Black is ground.
