Ok, here is a light bar push button just like the OEM switches in my previous setup.
The one that indicates LED LIGHT BAR , just in case you started drinking!

Yes sir we have. What year model do you have? Maybe I can point you to the correct wire in the wiper warmer switch.
(Look in my signature on the LED LIGHT BAR install) see if that will help.

Ok I see my error.
Your first pic had the AOB switch.
The post below had the rocker and toggle, caption 'I didn't like it.'
So I thought you 1) started with AOB, but 2) did not like it, so 3) went to the rocker and toggle. I imposed earlier-to-later time mods to your post sequence.
I understand you didn't like the rocker and toggle in the pic with that caption, so then went with the AOB.
I have earned my booze tonight!

Ohhhhh... stop drinking.
These are the only 2 I posted. I was just indicating AOB push button switches like OEM ones.
That was other peeps commenting about toggles and round rockers.

I should have done this in the beginning and would have saved $$$ and untold time.

Yeah I did the factory style button "sasquatch light" switch, but the LED would never turn off. Dead batteries suck when returning from deployments. This is so much better, especially if you're adding more than one light bar. The strobe feature is great against jerks who run LEDs on public roads and highways... Also works wonders on people who never learned about high beams...

IIRC, the wiring colors didn’t change 2014-2017.

I decided I’m not going to run back light on my Bajadesigns led light bar. There’s no reason to. So I added my switch blank back in.

That is what I did also and it worked great.

Had good luck with the Cali raised switches. I have the dual push button on an Extreme Led X6S. Fits like a glove in the factory knockout. You want the small size switch not the tall. They make a bunch of different styles/markings.

I have two amazon switches and they've never been an issue. One thing to note though. Two of the slots were a little bit different and didn't fit the switch well. Maybe you put yours on those slots?
