Can I jumper the pos and negs to each switch instead of running separate wires for each?


Thanks!
Yes, all orders have been processed & most of you guys should see them tomorrow. I ship the USPS priority, which is usually 2-3 days. (Canadian guys are shipped international first class. They usually see their packages in 7-10 days).
The wiring & switches can vary depending on your choice of switch. I've seen guys jumping their grounds all as one, and linking the others for the top light led... Then just running the seperate bottom to their accessory.
Personally... I like to run everything independently.
You usually have 3 leads for your typical on/off switch. (A ground, power in & power out). Again depends on your switch & what you need it for.

But below is a pic the is used in "typical" wiring of a Carling type switch.

My switches and panel should be sitting at my house waiting for me when I get home.

Going to try to knock it all out tonight. Drew up a nice little wiring diagram since work has been slow. I ordered DPDT switches so I can toggle the following:
Led bar - on with brights/off/on with switch
Reverse lights - on with reverse/off/on with switch
Interior accent lighting - on with interior lights/off/on with switch
Aux (unused) - on/off

Definitely post some pics when you get it all in place!

Great schematic of your wiring!!!!

Please remember that the instruction sheet shows my moon roof headliner.
(Working on a new instruction sheet with Carling switch install pics & also non moon roof trucks.... But essentially the same).

If you any of you guys do not have a moon roof, there is NO white plastic support that exists & your install is even easier!
If you do have a moon roof, that is a support that helps hold the center part of the headliner. It will need to be clearanced/modified for the back of your switches & wiring, ...pics are shown in the instructions of the original switch plate & switches, but if you have the Carling switches, you'll need to do the same so they sit back in.
Any questions feel free to email me.

Thanks,
-Brett

Here's a few of the latest switch panels that have just shipped out.
Thank you for the orders & you will love your new overhead custom switch panels!
Pictured are the "original switch panels" (4 switch) with the "keep it clean" switches that I exclusively sell.
The Carling style switch panels can also be done with a lasered logo of your choice on the 4 switch panel as well.
Currently, I do not sell any of the Carling switches....Possibly subject to change!

Any questions, feel free to ask or email me directly at:
lethalweapon09@yahoo.com

-Brett

Hey Brett! Just wana thank you. Love the switch panel. I actually just finished the install a few minutes ago. It took a good couple hours but well worth it! Here's a couple pictures. I jumpered all the grounds and power wires, tested with a 20v bat.

That is it installed!
