    Wiring noob here, main thing I'm confused on...
    1. If I buy a spod or something of the sort do I run a harness to the center like in the pics
    2. How do I wire all the switches behind the Iggy pannel?
    3. How can I make it look like the picture?
    4. What wire do I tap to have the lights on the switches work and work in tandem with the headlights (turn headlights or parking lights and the oem fog switch lights up)
    Any and all help is welcome, if a thread has been made before please feel free to link it!

    Subbed because I never know what I'm doing with wires and don't want to burst into flame.

    Check out the member @skygear he makes the same harness you have in the picture for a really good price. The OTRATTW switches will snap right in to the adapter he puts on the harness and go right into Iggy's switch plate. The By the time you buy all of the wiring and connector and then the time to put it all together, it would definitely be worth it. Then you just have to run the wires to your accessories and fuse block or battery and you are good to go.

    So if I got something like sky gears I would still have to wire stuff or just connect switches and accessories?

    Here is the link to how it comes from skygear:

    https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/switch-panel-gb.352289/page-32#post-9765337

    The switch from OTRATTW will plug into the colored blocks in the pic, you will need to connect the ground, illumination, pos/neg wires to the truck accordingly. It is pretty simple and skygear will answer any questions you have about wiring it up if you by it from him.

    Rhett what switches do you have from OTRATTW? Can you post a pic so we can see the backing? There's a few different kinds and some have 4 posts and others have 6 posts.
