    Hi all.
    Im in the middle of trying to wire up my Baja Designs ditch lights and I'm stuck. The harness that I bought separate from Baja Designs has a red and black wire from the relay along with a simple on/off toggle switch that works fine. I am trying to wire it to a OEM ditch light button that I bought from CaliRaised and it will not work.
    The switch has 4 wires. A black, a green and 2 red. I have tried all 4 and none of them turn activate the relay but do activate the mini LED's in the switch itself. Anyone know a solution for this? Thanks in advance.

    Nevermind. Figured it out. For the record if anyone else has this problem, relay red goes to switch green and relay black goes to switch red closest to green. Switch black needs to be grounded in the cabin.

    The one who dies with the most stuff wins.
    Does your switch illuminate correctly this way? I want it so that the bottom writing illuminates with the dash lights, and the top picture illuminates when the lightbar is turned on.

    I've been trying and the best I can do using the way you described is to have the bottom writing on the switch illuminates as it should, the top light never turns on (but still turns on the lightbar), and the bottom writing actually turns off when the dash lights are on and the lightbar is turned on.

    I am facing this exact same issue as I type this...but don't even know what relay red or relay black is. Ugh I'm stuck and cannot figure it out.

    In order to make your switch work properly, You need to add wire to the red 2 switch and run it to your taillight fuse on the left side under the steering wheel. Hope this helps!
