Blue is the brightest switch we carry. Amber, green, and red (not the daylight bright red) are standard intensity LEDs.

We are working on different solutions for the blue LEDs right now.

Here's the simplest wiring diagram I could come up with in paint before work this morning. Basically you should install an inline fuse from the battery to the relay. I think this should be 50 amp. The + battery wire should go to pole 30 on the relay. - battery should go to pole 86 on the relay. From the switch should be pole 85 on the relay. Accessory should be pole 87 on the relay.

I would add in inline fuse, or install a fuse box from the relay to the accessory so you can add 5-10-20 amp whatever fuse the lights come with. So in the event of a short, the fuse will blow and not your accessory.

If anyone sees anything that is incorrect, please critique. Thanks

So here is what I put together for my 6 switches in my aux switch panel. Ran an 8 gauge positive from the battery to the distribution block. The small distribution block is where you connect all of the positive wires from your accessory. The yellow wires, a single positive, and a single negative run up to the switches. Because the LED switches are low power, you can daisy chain the power and negative wires amongst the switches.

Ordered my switches and everything yesterday. It'll be another month before I'm home and able to wire everything up, but I'm excited to get started. Now I just need to get paid again so I can get the lights and accessories too.

What's the chance of you making one of these up and selling it alongside the switch? It'd certainly make for (potentially) less headaches. And it's hella clean, I like it.

Ok, I ran into a pickle.. I cut my head liner, and installed my otrattw switches. Issue is, the switch housing does not want to stay flush with the head liner and it bugging the crap out of me! It's just the bottom left hand corner. It seems like the weight of the wires are pulling down on the switch panel causing it to bow out. I can push it in and hold it flush and all is well, but there has to be a fix.
Any ideas on how to make it fit flush??

CrownOffRoad, I should have taken you up on your offer.. Only BIG issue now is my hole is 2" tall.. Your switch panel will only cover 1.5"..
