    My son picked up a roof rack that came loaded with LED light bar on front and six LED pods on either side along with a pair of Auxbeam 7inch Amber/Wgite pods. Everything has wires and switches except for the Auxbeams that’s has 6modes(white, strobe, amber, amber strobe, solid all, all strobe). Looking for a OEM style switch that has on/off and mode select. Things a pic of auxbeams version but that’s not a look he wants. Any help would be awesome. upload_2024-7-26_17-9-14.jpg

    Does that included switch go to some type of controller? If it’s a momentary switch that changes the mode, what you are looking to do may be possible. If there is some form of controller (an additional box that it connects to?) then you might be able to determine that. If there isn’t, then you’d have to determine if the controls are in the switch or the light itself. And that might take a little creative disassembly.

    We hooked up a on off switch and we can cycle through on/off six times to go through the modes. So it seems like it’s in the lights and any switch that has modes could work. I tried to uplaod a video of the on/off switch in action.

    What does the connector look like on the light itself? Did they come with any sort of wiring diagram?

    From what you've said and looking at the switch it comes with, it sounds like it may be possible that any 2 button switch could work. The only OEM style ones I've seen that have 2 buttons are white/amber switches like this https://caliraisedled.com/products/dual-function-toyota-oem-style-amber-white-switch-small-style

    You would just have to remember that "White" = On and "Amber" = mode or something.
