Old system: Decided to overhaul my lighting management system. Had 2 wireless accessory panels from Trigger Accessories, and while it is a more advanced system, it had 3 main drawbacks.

1. parasitic draw
2. keypad ate cr2032 batteries like candy, and they aren't cheap.
3. relied heavily on blue tooth (as in, its not always instantaneous and can be spotty).

Waited til black friday and no specials caught my eye other than the Lasfit 8 gang switch panel going on sale on Amazon. Honestly, they are all rebranded so pick whatever one you can get your hands on that is on sale. I wanted something simple and was hardwired to the vehicle (no more blue tooth BS). I went with Lasfit just for the branding (no i didnt get it for free, or a discount, or anything).

Pros:

1. fairly cheap and goes on sale often.
2 Comes with everything you need to mount it.
- didn't use the engine bay mount and used my own mount.
3. circuit breaker is included
4. multiple ways to mount the keypad (flush mount, swivel mount, etc).
- I choose to use a swivel mount and double side tape.
5. extremely easy to install. Wire up to battery, and run 2 wires (acc and control pad wire into firewall)
6. has auto dimming backlighting.
7. different keypad colors
8. different functions: momentary on/off, strobe, always on/off.
8. stickers for keypad are laser cut and thick. ( i didn't have my reading glasses on and put them on crooked.....oops)
9. well built and simple and very clean.

Cons:
1. uses a solid state built in relay. So if you are not careful, you will fry it.
2. Wish the positive battery wires were a little bit longer.
3. switch panel is only rated for 60 watts so I probably will only wire up lights and "remote" or signal wires/switches only.

Advice:
1. You may want to buy your own under hood mount, to allow for future upgrading. Whatever you pick, make sure your fat fingers can fit under it.
- the lasfit mount will do if you don't need more surface area for other things. I personally needed to mount a siren and have other goodies planned in the future.
2. use a cut up clothe hanger to run twires under the mount to reach the panel fo a clean install and less cursing or drink more beer.
3. Don't use wires with thick waterproof sheaths, and if you do, cut most of it off or it will want to bend out of the terminals.
4. don't be a dumb dumb and mount stuff to your OEM fuse box. Good luck getting into it quickly.

Anyways on to the pics and cheers!!!!

Here is a pic of my old system, so newer, more expensive, more advance is not always better.

Some things are better kept simple.

I have been pretty impressed with Lasfit's offerings. Their product quality and customer service have been top notch. I think they are currently the best bang for the buck products and their price points are fair and not inflated.

the free lights i got from them are still going strong and really dont have a bad pattern on them. Also their a pillar brackets live on the 4runner permanently because of how nice and low profile they are when the lights arent mounted.

thats good to know bro-ski.

my cockpit is complete..vroom vroom

I wonder if LASFIT could come up with a flat mount panel that replaces the one dash piece you have it sitting on. similar to the SDHQ/SPOD setup.

I think Running for tacos (R4T) is making something compatible but don't quote me on it.

I got all my lights wired up, FINALLY.

how/where did you end up mounting the rock lights?

2 front: I used the supplied L bracket and mounted at the only hole available that was empty in the sheet metal below the headlights. It isn't ideal but i don't have anywhere else to mount it and my bumper leaves everything exposed. I wish it was lower and more towards the front of the tires, but it does look cool i guess. (first 2 pics)

2 middle: Right below the front and rear passenger door. I used a rago fabrication mount, but realistically i could have bent the mount that came with the kit or any L bracket would have worked. I used a 13mm bolt to a hole already in the chassis.

2 rear: I mounted it to the spare tire cradle using the mounts supplied by the kit.

I'm pretty happy with the rock light kit, I had to extend the rear wires but other than that it was pretty much plug and play.

I know i gotta clean up the wires, but im done for today....I don't wanna see wires or lights for a while lol..

Cheers.
