8 Gang Switch Panel - Auxbeam/Amazon

Got it up and running! Auto dimming seems to flicker a bit on ignition. But otherwise seems to work fine. Gonna wire up ditches, bars, rock lights, etc when the new Uptop Alpha rack arrives this month We’ll see how auto-dim feature works

 

Mine has worked flawlessly

 

I think it’s because I had a headlamp pointed at it, messed with the light sensor/auto dim on start up

 

Yeah that’ll do it

damn! Just bought the old version this past week. Still working great- but those multiple mode options would have been nice. “Momentary” “pulse” etc. Seems like they are stepping up the game with the app and Bluetooth

 

Thats a good deal. Definitely a contender comparing to Switch-Pros

 

I don’t really see any use for those personal. If you’re using lights as hazards I guess that makes sense.
Or trying to send people in to seizures at the mall

 

actually- I am interested in it for the hazard lights option. They come in handy quite frequently when working out in snowy conditions or low light conditions. For example, putting on chains while going over Ute pass in white-out blizzard. Colorado will turn on you like that. Gladly Extreme LED offers a remote control that has a stobe effect for the light bar. 30$ done and done

 

So I just bought a set of diode dynamics lights, they have a backlight option. Anyone know how to program this to have an ON/OFF/Backlight. My limited knowledge in this switch panel makes me think it’s only good for ON/OFF.

 

You have the AUXBEAM Switch Panel? And you are wanting one switch to do an On/Off/On?

 

No, I only have the lights but I also have a set of ditch-lights and planning on getting something for the rear as well. Just looking into this to clean up the rat-nest, but need it to have on/off/on for the backlight feature. Is it possible with an auxbeam or would I need to put that on another button (essentially using 2 buttons total for one set of lights).

 

You will need to put the Back Lights on another button, You can't get three functions out of one switch.

 

Ah, well that’s a bummer.

 

Yep basically the backlit wire acts as a separate light. Needs its own button. You could wire it like I did. add-a-fuse to get those backlits in with the running lights. So they come on automatically and give you ongoing visa visibility. Also, this saves you a switch for more important lighting or accessories. To be honest, why would you need a switch just for the backlit option on an auxiliary light. You follow me?

 

I think wiring it to the headlights would be the best option.. thanks you guys

 

If you are going to do it that way, Why not wire it in with you parking lights? Then it would act like a daytime running light.

 

Im Actually pretty bad at wiring shit lol. Would I have to tap into the daytime running lights or would I do it with an add-a-fuse?

 

If you already have Daytime Running lights, Tap into them and I would still add a fuse to be safe.

 

So vampire clip on daytime running lights -> Fuse -> fogs? Any chance you guys know which wire powers the daytime running lights?
