Where can I get this imaginary 4 way switch ?
Hello everyone,
So I have an F150 with two Lights on the hood (Dually) and I want to wire them up and get new switches.
The idea is I want to have a switch that can illuminate each side separately and both together when needed.
My setup is similar to the picture above.
The switch I want:
So this is the switch I want but I want to be able to:
- Push-in for both on
- Push-up for left on
- Push-down for right on
- Push-out for both off
Is this thing available or can be custom made?
**Disclaimer: I don't own this truck but it looks badass.

You might look at the manufacture's website and see if they have what you're looking for. Perhaps make one with "Bigfoot Lights" instead of "Winch" on it for you....
If all else you could go a 2-switch route.
Have you inquired at any local off road shops in your area?
They have to be out there someplace, they use similar switches in semi trucks and RV's for HVAC controls.

Not in the style you want that I am aware of.
You could just run two of them, one for left and one for right. That would give you the control you want.

Easiest thing to do is two switches side by side, then you could flip both at the same time with one finger or which ever one individually.

These are not physically as you describe, but would be good electrically. They are designed for industrial control panels. Center and down would be off, left/right for singles, up for both. They're sold by AutomationDirect.com.

I don't know of any toggle switches that would allow you to do that. If you wanted to use that style of switch your easier and best bet would be two switches as previously mentioned. If you wanted to get fancy you could fab up a rocker bar that went in between switches that would allow you to turn both on or off by hitting the middle of the bar (think something akin to the plastic piece connecting two breakers together). Probably way more work than it's worth considering how easy it would be to just hit both switches manually. If you want it contained in one switch though you're probably going to have to move to a rotary or slide style switch.
