I made a thing for switches because the thing I wanted didn't exist.

    Thanks! I didn't see it was a Carling style. Do you know of any switches which are rocker like that do/would fit?

    What are most people connecting the "RED 2" wire to? Specifically, the one that turns the switch light on when the dash lights are on. ???

    I purchased 2 CH4X4 switches to power two separate KC LED lights. I'd like the switches lighted only when the dash lights are on.

    :notsure:

    This is how I have mine wired. The lights on the switch come on with the dash lights and get brighter when switch is engaged.

    I also have mine wired so I can turn my light bar on with out the truck running. When I do this the switch lights up when engaged as well.

    I tapped into the light green wire on the bed light switch.

    That switch is the correct size. The first switches I used were AliExpress and listed as 21x39 so that's what went in the shapeways description, the mictuning ones work just fine.

    Sure. I'm leaving town tomorrow afternoon for a weeks vacation, I'll try and get it done before I go but if not I'll do it as soon as I get back the following week.
