    Swapping the switch is easy and even if it came with the sPod you wouldn't have something to make the SPDT switch work with our you tieing into your light source but I'm a derp and read that completely wrong.

    If you want just the switches illuminated then wait to see if sPod has an option. I bet they do and it's plugged and play.

    I read your comment as I want my light bar on with my headlights or on when I flip the switch. Thats where swapping the switch comes into play. You can ignore me and wait of @fatfurious2 to get you an answer. Sorry

    A little of this and a little of that
    This is helpful for sure. I have no question that the switches can be swapped out and I know there probably will need to be an extra lead to tie into the internal light source and dimmer. For me, it is mostly for "convenience" since would need to order the other switches and then sell the ones I replace. I have a pile of other stuff in the garage that I have to get rid of already. LOL

    Even if this is not an option for the GB, I'm still in and can upgrade later if the mood strikes.

    Woot! I am going to replace mine with contura v switches and will be wiring them together. Once I get the switches I'll do a write up so it's easier for everyone. I already know how to do it but some people do better with pictures :rofl:

    I currently have OTRATTW switches with my sPod. I do not have them lit up with the dash lights, but it's possible.

    Below is not my current setup (it used to be), but an @Iggy panel and whatever switches you choose will work

    If you plan on mounting it on the drivers side (where you would put the cable through the firewall) the 36" battery cable will be plenty.

    I think there is a spot on the passenger side to go through the firewall, but im not certain.

    anyone use the hi-amp breaker for anything?

    besides the ARB adapter, I don't really see anything else.

    where is it? built into the sPod?

    they do have something built in, if you leave your lights on, they will not drain the battery.

    EDIT: also, the ARB harness is if you have lockers. I do not have lockers, and have my ARB compressor wired into the Modular 6 switch setup. I am able to power my compressor from inside the truck

    There is an accessory to increase the amperage sort of an increased safety measure takes it from 50amp to 80amps....

    Just looking at accessories....the arb compressor one looks interesting, but I was thinking of running the compressor off of the bluesea fuse panel.
