    Aloha All,

    I have purchased the Baja s8 light bar and had a few questions on it for those of you that have this light bar. With the toggle switch that came with the bar itself, how did you mount that in the cab? Does it fit it OEM slots or did you custom something to make it fit? Also, how many of you are running both switches for the main on/off and the back light on/off switch that the s8 is designed with? Pics of your set up would be appreciated! Thank you!20190223_142942.jpg

    kinda depends on how you want it setup. I generally dont use the switches and pick up factory style switches.
    the backlight feature is nice, and you can set it up so it turnes on with your running lights, but most installs i do just leave that feature off.
    if i remember correctly that harness doesnt have a relay in it right? if it doesnt, you would need to add one if you want a factory switch.

    Thanks for the reply man. I was thinking about factory switches but I kind of dig the toggle switch it comes with. The harness that I have ordered through Baja does come with a relay.

    if you have any switch blanks you can add the toggles to those so you dont end up putting holes in the dash. then just follow the directions on the harness. its a easy hookup
