    Hey I need some help connecting a couple CH4x4 push Toggle switchs to a Baja Designs s8 light bar. The first switch is for the main lights on the light bar, I just need to know what wires connect together from the yellow and red wires off the original switch to the Green & Red1 off the CH4x4 toggle?

    And I have a second switch for the Amber's on the S8 I just need to know what wires connect together from the Green and White wires coming off the original switch to the Green & Red1 on the CH4x4 toggle?

    Thanks!

    So I just went ahead and took my chances and hooked it up, after all I had a 50-50 chance of getting it right. One of them I got right the other one I got wrong. Luckily I didn't blow anything up or start any fires the only thing that happened was the toggle switch was constantly lit so I just switch the wires and it all works the way it should now. If anyone else needs to know, the way I have it hooked up and it's working correctly is I connected the red wire coming off the LED light bar to the green #1 wire on the toggle switch and the yellow wire coming off the LED light bar to the red 1 #2 wire on the toggle switch. I then have the white wire coming off the Amber LEDs to the green #1 wire on the toggle switch and the green wire coming off the Amber LEDs to the red 1 #2 wire on the toggle switch. Again this is two different toggle switches one for the main LEDs the other for the Amber LEDs. And then I just connected the ground wires and tapped into an illumination wire.

    So I am about to attempt the same thing. Did you connect the amber switches ground to the main switches black ground?
