Switch Placement

[c7j6y1]

So I'm waiting for my 22 Willys Diesel, and I'm planning my aux lighting set ups. I dont have the AUX switch package so Im trying to figure out placement for the Switches.

I have the 7in Screen and was looking at the Bezel and it appears that theres enough space under the screen to put some switches. Has anybody put their Switches here? Looking at 6 toggles (Front Flood, Front Spot, Front Amber, Left Flood, Right Flood, Rear Flood)

Wherever you decide to put the switches, consider putting a relay between you forward aux lights and a tap from the high beam headlight circuit. That then makes your high beam column switch the control to quickly extinguish all the forward lights by going to low beam when necessary. The exception you might make is for any true fog/dust lights that you don't want the high beam on with.

Oh believe me it's gonna be relayed and fused up. I build police cars and firetruck for a living. 12v automotive electronics are my bread and butter.

I have some special ideas in my head and lots of vehicle integration.

Look at VOSwitch. Their buttons go where the factory aux switches would be. Yes you could do your own for less. I’ve done plenty myself. Probably not nearly as good as you. Lol. But it always looked good when I was done. But I went with VOSwitch on my JL mainly for the clean look and ease of install.

They have this setup, can be used above on the dash or down below the HVAC panel, seem to get good reviews and includes the relays and associated harnesses

If you have the adaptive cruise, don't get the JL Kit, it won't work, but if you have standard cruise, then definitely get the JL kit... It puts the switches above the rear view mirror and they look factory.

While my Willys won't be this expansive, its gonna be close.

Thanks, Im trying to find some pictures of my cleanest board, but i dunno if i have it on this phone.

Nice work!

Thanks. Some of my installs border on stupidity with the lights and the level of integration.

Here's a charger

YIKES. For that kinda coin I’d just add the factory switches. I don’t need all the fancy bells and whistles.

The wireless option is nice because you can control them from your phone and/or mount your switches wherever you want. Plus, with the phone app, you can turn the LED pods into strobe lights.

Been considering this setup. It's the cleanest set of switches next to the factory. Plus I like the RJ45 pass to use for a radio.
