What does eveyone use to turn their offroad light switches on and off? Im new to aux lighting and was wondering if getting somthing like this:

Would be a good idea to get with my lights. Looking at having 4 forward facing and 2 rear facing wired seperately. Any help is appreciated.

 

That would work. Are you going to use relays?

 

I got toggle switches in my truck

and its best to use a relay so the wires and the switches dont overload
relays tend to make the lights brighter also

Edit: here is a diagram



Id would not get the power from the fuse box your better off getting it from the battery

 

What kind or relay would be best for what I want? Links if possible

 

this should work

Buy BWD Relay R3074 at Advance Auto Parts

40 amps is more then enough i think

 

Actually, I think mine are hooked up with everything Gio said not to do lol.

My switch is tucked up under near the manual shift 4wd is. But mine is wired without a relay and to the fuse block.

But my switch is just a black switch with on/off, it has no light or indicator to tell you it's on.

 

its ok to get the power from the fuse box but I get the power from the battery to avoid problems in the future (just in case)

 

Oh, I understand. I just didn't want a clutter of stuff around my battery. The fuse block is so much closer lol. But how much brighter does a relay make the lights? Mine seem to be decently bright the way they are.

 

i really do not know I fellow forum member told me the relay makes them brighter

I never tryed to see the difference

 

Relays also allow you to use tiny wire to the switch. Mine are push button computer switches run with 24 gauge cat5 phone cable. I was able to fit 12 in the overhead console. I have my 4 offroad lights on one switch and my fire lights on 2, my siren uses 3, leaving for plenty of more lights to be added later.
