    Heres how Ive got my wiring done.

    Iggy panel for 6. Plus a simple 2 switch holder from Otrattw for the winch controls.

    Then I actually just did this today. The wiring looms arent finished quite yet. (waiting for the weather pack connectors to show up) And its ALOT of extra wire im sure. I did three looms (duh). Two 6 wire looms and one 5 wire loom. I only wanted have to take things apart once so i went for the worst case sort of deal. ie 6 wires as the "power" wires to switch and 6 wires for the "to acc" wires. The 5 wire loom includes my dimmer light power (so switches power on with dash lights), a negative wire, then three wires for whatever else that might need a wire.

    The routing of the wiring is pretty simple once you pull the over head console down. Then take the A pilar off.

    Jim over there at OTR is a great guy! He has my business. Ordered about 80 switches so far from and not a problem or complaint from any of them! :cheers:

    Merry Christmas.

    Haha sorry I meant to say the back of the switch rocker. Or just the front of it.

    It looks like they are the same. If you want to pull it apart you can pry on the side of the switch in the center and they will pop off.

    Jim is an awesome guy. He will set you up with whatever you want pretty much. I had good luck in just saying what I wanted to do and he responded with exactly the switches I needed and how to hook it up.

    I'll probably end up doing the 11–15 lower bezel pretty soon just for the extra switch spot. Does anybody know where to pick one up or do I just get one from Camelback?

    If your sending juice to the relays to actuate them you wouldn't even need more than a 1 Amp fuse (only China made crap 1 amp available) to power all 6 of them.

    Now if your concern about having them on separate fuses to have each circuit switch to relay on their own (way :facepalm:overkill) then...:notsure:
