As a note to add to @Anand comment, the only reason I am pursuing these options is purely for the fact that the controller and lights/accessories will be used often. Not that I use them daily for normal driving, but I do try to get out and go camping every other weekend as weather permits etc.

Hence the justification for purchasing a roof rack and RTT as well. If not, I would never have added extra lights besides maybe rear lights for backing up in dark areas and the baja squadron fog replacements.

I think this thread has built up some useful information and Just want to inform people that if you are practical(like I am), then the price for these mods may not be justifiable unless you are have tons of money or will use them a lot. for 2-3 lights I would have stayed with my OEM type switch solution in the empty slots.

For me the use case and amount of usage justifies why I buy baja designs lights and try to go with quality products. I do have a mentality of "buy it nice or buy it twice", but if I don't need it I just would not buy it at all.

ie I don't need massive $1k light bars everywhere etc.

I came across the Auxbeam switch panel and was wondering if anybody used it. I have auxbeam lights and they work ok for what I need them for.

Link for reference
Blue Light On-Off Control 8 Switch Panel Electronic Relay System

At sub $200, it might something worth for me to get.

I'm a big fan of Auxbeam lights, just couldn't bring myself to gamble on this system. Ended up buying an sPod for way more money. Hoping someone has a positive experience with them though

Here's what I've been working towards for installing the Switch Pro power module in the engine bay to conform to SP's vertical mounting requirement (for warranty reasons). Take a look, seeking feedback. Availability 2-3 weeks.

Thanks i did see that in your other thread! I ended up going with the sdhq mounting plate though because i will be wiring directly and did not want to use those wiring blocks. Figured i could save some space

Just finished installing my switchpros 9100. I have to say that the quality is top notch and wiring is simple. I also used the accessories from SDHQ to make the install clean and achieve the vertical mount required.

I do not have all the lights hooked up yet since I am still waiting on my SSO rack, but I do have 2 pairs of Baja Design S2 sport flush mounts waiting to go in the rack.

for the install I used:
SDHQ vertical mount
SDHQ cnc cut interior panel
heat shrink crimps for everything
