    So I recently bought a new truck and wish to make some modifications to it, one being ditch lights, which have been installed successfully but they came with a circular button from Rigid, and now I wish to add them to my empty spot on my switchboard (see image). I get the wiring is color coded on both the lights and the switch itself, but they don't match. How would I go forth in connecting them appropriately?

    Whats the cable color way to match?

    Call Cali , tell them what you have and they’ll tell you exactly how to match the wires up. I got my switches from them, gave them a call 5 minutes later I had them wired up and working.

    Perfect, I will. Would it matter that the switch is from Cali but the lights are from Rigid?

    No, my lights were from Rough Country, they were very helpful.

    On the Cali Switch, best I can tell is (starting left to right in your pic)

    Black = Ground
    Red = Accessory lighting circuit
    Red / Green = Lights / Relay
    Green = 12 Volt

    I cant see the Rigid Switch very well. But looks like only 3 wires?

    1 will be - Ground
    1 will be - Lights / Relay
    1 will be - 12 volt

    The rigid lights have three wires.

    1. black- ground
    2. red+black- switch output to lights
    3. red- switch input power

    Update:

    I figured it out, I stripped some of the wires on both the switch and the lights, connected the ground connections on both, connected the red to the green and red/black to the remaining two. Got it on the first try. Anyways, thank y'all for the help.
