richocet HID light dam

I just bought one from Brad. Question for anyone running this. What light switches did you go with and where can I get some

I am right in the middle of that as well. I ordered mine from www.otrattw.com. I ordered lighted switches for rock lights, driving lights, roof lights and back up lights with blue lights. They are now mounted into my switch panel but I have yet to wire anything up. I put the new ones in the low row and the four stock that I have in the top row. I had to modify the opening a bit but they fit good now. I just ordered rock lights just in case they stopped selling them as some day I will have them as well. The other three willbe used as follows.
Driving lights>Hellas on front bumper
Roof lights>hide in light bar/air dam
Backup>floods on rear

I am a bit afraid of the wiring as I need to clean up what I have already done.

Perfect Thanks!

Speaking of rock lights... I just bought these off of amazon

Vision X HIL-STW Superwhite LED Strobe and Rock Light Kit

Only $119.

I am very curious about these I had been looking at them and heard that they can get water in them and other really liked them. I would love to see the final results.

I'm getting the same switches as Greg. Right now I'm going through a Tacoma rocker. It looks good and works fine, but I like those switches better. I also have the rock lights, and have sealed them up with some clear silicone. I'm not planning on these being submerged, so we'll see how they do. I also didn't like the screws and the tape they supply to mount them. I made these fancy brackets.

I will mount these when I do all of my wiring for my camera system, and re do all of my other wiring.

Sweet. What are you doing next weekend... You should come down to WOTR with me!

Here's my panel of missile switches. Brad helped me make it. (nothing wired yet, I want to do the wiring once and do it right)

So stupid question time... For the 4 lights uptop, are you running one switch for all 4 lights or do you have to run 4 individual switches for each light?

That panel looks great! how is your project going with the fighter jet stick?

Done!

Today: Lights (Such a great setup. I did another set of bolts directy to the bar it self. , snorkle pretty easy... I had to order a special bushmaster flair... another $300...ugh (should be here in a few weeks), rear diff protector - Boztec...bad to the bone , control arm protection -- awesome... with my Fabtech kit i had to chop it just a tad as not to tear up stuff.

I didn't like the rocker switches... I have a full set if anyone want to buy them.

I ended up using a single PIAA and relay for the 4 lights.

Tomorrow: Finish dual battery kit

Monday: Front Locker / and Gears...

THursday... Head to WOTR

I also orderd a set of the MetalTech tube door...

I need some help...where can i go to get some custome door covers made? I want to make sure rain and what not stay out.

I know Metal Tech is working with someone to get some made. Someone that does canvas for camping trailers or custom awnings should be able to put something together for you.

Yeah, I begged and pleaded with them to give me the first set. The demo set is supposed to be done this week...

they said no... lol.

It sounds to me that BRad want to clean up his wiring, Brett needs to do his, and I need to finish up a crap load of lights and clean up the mess that I have so far. Maybe a wiring night is in order. I think that I am going to add a secondary fuse block inot mine and a wire bundle into the switch area ans I ahve the following all int hat location.
all lights switches
CB power
Heated seats
2 outlets
overhead console

So it looks like spagetti right now.

I did a major wire clean up and wired my hids on my light bar and the two hellas on my front bumper and the lights on the rear of my rack. I even pre wired the switch for my rock lights. I ended up pulling out the switch panel and building a wiring loom and run-in the bundled wires over to the connections to the relays and lights. All i have to do wire up rock lights now is install the lights and run to the switch. All the switches are lighted and work perfectly.

I can't believe how damn bright it is with all 6 lights on. I can't even see if my head
Ights are on or off. I think you coulees get a tan if you stood in front of my FJ with the lights on.

AWESOME!

Wow you have done a little work since I seen you looks good. I am envious of your mods. Wish i could help you on the doors but don't know any tent makers. See you tain
