Thanks for the video. What about the part about selecting different modes?

this was the best video and explanation, thank u and god bless

That's going to awesome on your next trip. Where are you headed? Looking forward to your next video.

Thanks for breaking that down in an understandable way. How about a vid on some basics on wiring, electrical work, and common tools needed?

blinded by the light....song just popped in my head. Nice work!

A handy man, you are! That switch panel really makes things easy. How's the reflection of the light off the hood? I wonder if visibility is degraded using that during rain or snow. I have no idea and am interested in finding out your experiences under those conditions.
But for now, all you need is one of those relays that causes that bar to flash red and blue. MCSO and PPD might have something to say about that. :))

If you got a multi pattern warning or strobe light, the change pattern wire can put into switch panel. So, one of your switch button on panel will be a light pattern change button.

Thank you for this. Would this still work with a 6 gang auxbeam panel? Obvious there are 2 less switches, but on the 6 gang your negatives dont go to the control box like your power wires do, they go to a ground on the vehicle.

I don't have opposable thumbs so I can't do this, but I liked watching!

Thanks for the reply on the other video of yours directing me here. My wiring harness from the light is a bit different as I have the Roadshock Edge 6 (two of them). I have a 4-pin harness that comes off the light: Red=Pin 1 Low Beam, Black= Pin 2 Ground, Yellow= Pin 3 Amber Backlight, White= Pin 4 High Beam.

Per the instructions, you cannot power both Pin 1 and 4 (low and high beam) simultaneously or you'll fry the board on the light. Most install videos show the optional harness and switch as the solution ($70).

QUESTIONS:
1. Can I just wire Pin 1 into a switch on the Auxbeam, and then Pin 4 into a different switch on the Auxbeam? It seems to me as I can, however, I would simply need to make sure that I never ran both switches in the "on" position, correct?
2. Would it be a better option to run switch 1 and 2 into a 5 pin relay?
3. My Auxbeam 8 gang (SKU:QP006231) switch does havea built-in solid state relay, but I'm not certain that that functions as would my question #2?

Any input is greatly appreciated!

Hi my fellow AZ. Thank you for always making such great videos. I have a question regarding switch panels. How many lightings or gadgets before considering having a switch panel? I just installed the auxbeam light bar but haven't connected it. It also came with ditch lights that I haven't installed and I'm not sure If I'm going to. I also want to install the anytime camera. So I'm thinking 3 items that requires switch buttons. I don't want anything more than that. Do you think switch panel is still the way the go? I'm also worried with messing with the warranty. I'm going to visit a friend of mine who's electrical engineer to also help me decide. He lives on 35th n Bell Rd. The only thing is, he does wiring work for motorcycles and doesnt know anything about 4runners. I hope you can help me decide. Thank you.

Do you not need a ground wire for the red wire that you added to the aux beam box?

[loschillyboyz]

Im actually doing this right now. Im confused on the 3rd yellow wire. When you connected it to the positive port did you connect another ground ? So is it Red+, black -, yellow +? Im also connecting to a auxbeam 6 control panel.

I tried this on my dual color auxbeam 42" light bar, and unfortunately, I can't seem to be able to switch colors.
