High and low OEM switch for Aux beam light bar
I’ve been lookin for a switch for my Aux Beam light bar that has a low and high mode. Press it once for low, twice for high, 3 times to turn off. I’ve attached a pic of the switch.

Does anyone know of a switch that I can use that will fit in the oem spots that can do this? Or better yet a switch that can go straight to high without having to press it twice. All the ones I’ve found are just on/off. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Does it have to be a push-push-push switch?

If not, there are tons of 3 position rocker switches or toggle switches on the market.......

No, I'd actually prefer a non push,push style. Do you have a recommendation on where to look for a rocker or toggle that fits in the OEM factory knock outs?

Fitting the factory knock out might be hard, I haven't looked for one of those.
I don't think the switch in the pic you posted was in the factory knockout. Looked like a key fob

But I would try aironboard.com
or mkt.com or ch4x4.com

sleeoffroad.com

There is even a thread or 2 discussing switches that fit the factory knock outs.

I'm sure somebody makes them.

Or you could just wire the off/on style straight to the high beam and forget the low beam.

I've did my fair share of google searches. I was holding out hope someone knew of something out there. The current switch is definitely not in the OEM knockouts. I have to tape it to the dash which I don't like as it doesn't look clean and it falls off from time to time.

Maybe I will just have to chop it and use just the high mode.

Thanks for your help.

@Cozen89

The question is, what does that switch go to? Some sort of control with a 2 stage relay system sending either half or full voltage to the light bar? I think your only option for an OEM style switch would be to only have "High" mode. You would have to determine what wire coming out of that switch or harness gets 12v to enable high mode and wire the OEM switch accordingly.
