Should have mentioned, I have been using a remote wireless switch for a couple years now to control some LED emergency lights. Works pretty well, but it would all depend on what you want to run off the switch and the amps. Pretty simple install and nothing visable, I just throw the remote in a cup holder or the storage compartment. Its nice to be able to control the lights from outside of the truck as well if I am using it for traffic warning or smoething.

Not the one I am using but very similar.

I think this is a pretty good location. Relatively flat surface, you can pop off the side panel and get easy access to the back, grommet through the firewall just above the e-brake pedal, easy to reach... Probably the only downside is that it might be hard to see the indicator lights (blocked by steering wheel?)

Also, on my next light hookup, I think I'm going to switch grounds on the relays instead of the hots. Feed the relay directly from fused battery or the power distribution box under the hood, and just switch the ground side of the relay legs. That way I just have to find a decent ground point under the dash and there is no chance for a short.

I also want my aux lights to be three mode:

• Always Off
• Always On (with ignition on)
• Switched with the high beams

I think by switching the grounds this will be easier. This is what I'm thinking of:

Here's some pics of my old 04 F150..They weren't very OEM looking even though they were carbon fiber and matched the interior of the FX4 pretty good. But then again nothing about that truck was "OEM" looking anymore
I plan on either doing something similar to bisoniums setup or just using the factory Raptor Aux panel and getting rid of where it says raptor svt and putting something like Twin turbo ecoboost or something along those line. Not too sure yet.

One toggle switched between stock horn and train horn the second toggle turned off/on my dual on board Viair 380c compressors.

Here is the switches I put in to control my emergency lights. I did lose the storage, but I wasn't using it anyways.







Ran wiring through the back.

I love the box. where did you get it? That could be mounted anywhere.

The switch is a Brookings BR990. They run about $250 and they are programable.

I did find a version of it on http://www.extremetacticaldynamics.com/ for about $65, but I am not sure if you can program that one or not.

Very nice. I'm only thinking 2-3 switches max. I need to run some construction strobes and maybe some off-road lights. I don't need a bunch.

I had a piece of the dash off today and I'm thinking about putting everything over by the headlight switch so it is accessible without taking my eyes off the road.

That actually looks like a pretty nice digital switch for $65... Doesn't say much about it, but it sure looks like the BR990! I think I'm going to order one.

Looks like the same switch is sold under a few different names?

Extreme Tactical


Brookings BR990


Soundoff Signal


911 Signal

Looks that way, I paid $120 for mine before I found them for $65.

So the general consensus is that $65 is a good deal for this?

Maybe I'll buy one and add more lights than I wanted!
