Hi csireeves,
I've used
'A.O.B.' and the
'slee-off road' in-dash switches which both work equally as well! "Here's a couple of pics of my dash using the aob switches":
You can see by the last photo that I've repositioned the switches a bit in the dash trying to figure out which arrangement looks the best and most
'factory like'! Each photo shows the switch in a different mode. The first is just to show the switch itself. The second one shows the dash with everything
OFF! The third shows the switches with only the head/parking lights on, and the switch's
'etched' back-light w/courtesy circuit lighting glowing. And the forth, both leds and headlights are on as noted by the etched back-glow and
ON/OFF indicator!

Doing this is very easy. It can be done using one relay or two; depending on the size of the load. If the intended load (LED lights) is small, you can just run
one relay and feed both LEDs. But if you know that the load of two LEDs will exceed the max capacity of the relay, wiring and fuse, then a
second relay and harness is added and wired so that the first relay is 'triggered' by the dash switch, but the second relay is triggered by the load circuit of the first relay.
Please be sure to keep us posted as to how you're making out on this project; there are plenty of others here who would love to see your LED bar in full operation!
BEST!
