I did front off-road lights and rock lights. If I ever get a vehicle mounted games radio I’ll probably wire it to one of the aux power wires that come out under the glovebox. 4th one?… dukes of hazard are horn?​

Same. I have 2 of them wired for lights.

Two auxs run two light bars

Oba, reverse lights , rear arb, bumper light bar , might install amber Rock lights in the westin bumpers for area camping lights

I have a full bank of rockers. This is what I use them for:

1. Driving lights (bumper)
2. Long range lights (A-pillar)
3. Reverse lights
4. Rear locker (disregard if factory equipped)
5. Air compressor
6. Winch isolation relay
7. HF radio (high output HAM radio I want isolated from the battery when not in use)
8. Blank, but will most likely be used for 360° roof rack area lights when installed.

Rock Lights...

I have Aux lights right now, and considering rock lights and rear spot lights. My winch has a wireless remote, so it seems overkill and complex to wire it to Aux when it's way easier wireless.

Mine are..
Light on the bumper
Reverse/rear lights
Relay for house battery charger
Empty

Agreed: I'm not sure why someone would want to wire a winch to an aux switch.

You're wiring in a relay to send power to the winch, not to have it spool in/out. Basically, a winch in standard config always has a hot battery cable out to it and you can put a cutoff in so that you have to push the aux button in order to make the power cable hot at the winch. Some like that in case of a crash (not a live wire hanging out down there where there's damage), and some like that simply for the control it gives you over whether or not the device is able to draw power.
