    While I wait for the switch to come in, I figured I should probably post my wiring diagram as I am no expert with electrical systems. I have two option and feel free to tell me if there are any flaws with my designs.

    For both note:
    • OR = Off Road
    • Front OR Lights are already wired to a relay
    • Winch and Rear OR Lights will be added down the road
    • Halos are currently wired directly to DTRLs
    • Want switches to dim with rest of truck console

    Option 1: Direct Power from the battery. Will use relay connected to DTRLs for halos so they will still shut off with vehicle.

    Option 2: Power is linked to starter. Power to switches will only be on if key is in ACC or ON

    Guess no one cares for my wiring diagrams lol

    Anyways here's pictures of the switch next to the blank. Looks to me like there is not reason it shouldnt fit other than the notch on one side (visible in 3rd picture) which I could always just smooth out. I will post pictures after I install it as well.

    Note the new switch is taller than the blank. Makes it look a little larger in this picture. Trust me, they are the same size.

    Here's the wiring harness it came with:

    What specifically on your wiring diagram did you want double checked? Or is it all going to be new? Is that an AOB brand switch?

    Yes indeed it is. Will be trying to fit it in my '11 as AOB says it will not fit in.

    And yes I was just looking for a double check. All I have right now is a switch connected to the Front OR lights relay, but I will be ripping that out and replacing it with an otrattw in the setup below.

    I'm also weight the pros and cons between connecting the system always able to be on or only on when the key is on ACC or ON.

    Any help is much appreciated.

    For all of you who have been waiting...

    I'd say it fits very well. Took a wiggle, but went right in. I think it got stuck on the end of the notch for a second.

    I've been looking to add some switches on my '14, so I popped out one of the blanks in the middle and there is a wiring harness behind there, not connected to anything. Since most of you guys have been in there messing around, thought I'd ask what this goes to?

    I've heard it is for heated seats. I guess they come pre wired even if your truck doesn't have heated seats.
