I had some wired to my Switch-Pros only cause the Leds were stupid bright so I would turn off depending on the occasion.

What’s involved with having the raptor lights attached to the amber parking lights? I can’t seem to find where people have set this up like that and provided a description of how they did it.

Where did you connect the red to?
I tried the red directly to the battery, but the raptor lights comes on even when the vehicle is off and no key in the ignition. Is that how it’s suppose to be?
The black is obviously ground, but I’m just so confused by the red wire.

Maybe watch this video: Wiring Factory Style Switch For LED Light Bars - YouTube
I am assuming you are talking about the wire that should either go to an "add a fuse", you can tap into a fuse that is "hot" when the vehicle is on. You can also just tap into the parking light wire, so the raptor lights are only on when your headlights are on. It just depends on how you want it.

See if this pic helps. My blue coming from the ARB switch is the one I had connected with an add a fuse so it lights up when I turn the key. If I’m understanding you correctly then I would end up with 2 add a fuses? Thanks

You don't need to have 2 add a fuses, you can have both wires going into the crimp part on the same add a fuse.

I’m I’m gonna try that. Is it correct that the high voltage is only drawn through the relay? So there is never any chance of any short or melting in the switch harness?

This video breaks it down real easy and is applicable to connecting any light setup with a button. I followed this video to a T and found success in wiring my raptors to a switch. Early in the video he goes over the wiring diagram.

This should help as well.

The Amazon link you posted has a diagram, you should follow that exactly. The included switch with the harness has 3 wires, your AOB has 4, because you can tap into a wire that will illuminate the switch when your headlights are on, like all the other switches in the truck (to some people that may not be important).

Yes these are for raptor lights, let me explain with pics of what I have so far. Because I feel like we’re going around in circles lol.
This is the where the raptor lights are connected to, (green and red)
You can see the relay and red and black to the battery
From the relay comes out a white wire

Next is the ARB switch connected to the Amazon harness, I connected them according to the diagrams from ARB and the Amazon switch.
Note (blue is for the backlight function, that I know about)
*****look at the white connector, and remember it for the next pic*****

I had to post a link because I couldn’t upload the pic. So this is the confusing part. After I connect the switch hardness and the relay harness via the white connector, I’m left with a red and black.
That’s what led me to believe that something is not right with my Amazon harness. One one white wire running to/from relay that connects to my switch.
