    This is what I would like to do but apparently it's hard for me to read this stuff.

    If anyone would like to help me step by step, please pm me. I am shopping for parts so I haven't purchased anything yet. Apparently this stuff is just a bit out of my league but I would love to learn.

    Somewhere in the Mojave Desert...
    Vehicle:
    2017 Tacoma OR 4x4 (formerly 2002 OR 4x4, 1995 4x4 4Runner, 1985 4x4 Toy PU) ... and RIP’s (rust in pieces) to a Bronco II 4x4 & S10 Blazer 4x4
    I don’t know, that remote switch I posted is pretty easy... No wires to the cab, no funky 3rd Gen circuits to blow out, no leaks or shorts from pushing wires through windows and firewall grommets... And the result? Two independent switchable sets of 10amp relays- I can turn my pair of shelltop back up lights and the pair of side ditch lights on and off independently with it and all I had to run was a single power supply to the relay box and then from there to each of the lights and I did not have to run any wires into the cab.
