    Installed my ditch lights and everything, but can't seem to get the ditch light switch to turn off with the car off. Tried all the combos and still no luck. Anyone have any advice?

    What's the pinout of the switch (do you have a diagram)?

    No diagram was included, all the instructions I received was the how to install the brackets.

    What I've found is
    Black.. Ground

    And that's about it really.

    Wires wrong. Can you describe where you tapped the wires?

    It's plug/play, ground and direct to the battery. Any power automatically illuminates the switch lights.

    Plug and play? Looks like you have vamp taps and random wires all over the place. You would have had to tap power/switch lights from somewhere?

    The relay wire harness is plug and play. I think I'll need a diagram before I can go any further. I'm under the impression that I have a faulty switch. Will use the flip switch that it came with for now.

    Yes the relay is plug and play, but where did you hook the red/yellow wire?

    The green paired with the adjacent red seems to be the Lower LED circuit and then the upper Led Just comes on when the red/black wire circuit is complete since they usually tie into a common ground used by the lower LED. Or that’s at least how all these generic Chinese Toyota type switches seem to work.
