- I wanted all the switches in one place in my Land Rover Discovery, and it seems like Auxbeam has a good solution. In this video, I'll go through the unboxing, installation, and a brief review of the Auxbeam AR-600 LED Switch Panel.
Here's the link to the panel: auxbeam.com/TF...

Looks like this is Rover project 1001 to add to my list! 😁
Thanks for the share!
This looks really simple Tyler! Great idea, I could do with this I have wires all over my engine bay 😂
I highly recommend it. Couldn’t really be simpler.
Looks great! Glad you liked the spot.
Can you explain the tapping into cigarette lighter fuse?
Yeah, the panel comes with a "fuse tap", which allows you to replace a fuse in the panel with one that has a piggy back mini fuse holder on the back of it. I just found this diagram that probably explains it better than I can in words.

cool stop motion!
I’m in a constant battle between using aftermarket solutions or trying to rig up through the OEM switches. I’ve been able to run 4 circuits for 7 aux lights on my D2 using a D1 three switch panel to replace the D2 ashtray + 1 left of steering switch, and will be adding lockers, which I hope to install in the dummy buttons to the right of steering wheel. Trying to work with the OEM wiring, as an electrical novice has been daunting though.
I admire your determination. I got my one set of lights working from a spare cruise control switch, and had planned to use another OEM switch panel in place of the ash tray, but the switch itself was really inconsistent and I gave up on that. Using all OEM switches is a pretty cool move, for sure.
I ordered this for Black Friday. So connecting this to a constant power would drain the battery even with the lights off?
I'm wanting the capability use the lights with the ignition off through the app. Is this possible?
I guess the only real drain would be the blue LED on the controller when you switch it to standby mode. If you forget but it in standby mode though, all the lighting on the controller may drain the battery after a while. They’re all LEDs though so it’s probably a very small draw. I say try it and test the amperage draw with a multimeter. It would be cool to be able to control the lights and stuff remotely with the app.
Oh boy, do i have some old wiring that i could remove with this gadget! (or 3)
Nice clean install and explanation.
Cheers for sharing.
Glad you like it! They also make one with 8 switches. I want one for all my cars now!
does it matter what amp fuse you connect the wire to in order to power the controller itself? like what’s the best amp fuse to tap into for it?
Asymmetry always works when it’s far enough away from center 👍😎👍
It's not quite the rule of thirds, but close...
Found your channel today and immediately subscribed after watching part 1 of the shop build. I watched several more this afternoon. You’re doing a great job 👏
@ thanks!
if you want to add spotlights but tap it on with high beam while using this how would you connect to it?
I don’t know if you could use this switch panel for that. I think you’d have to run a relay triggered by the high beam switch.
I started adding lights before the prevalence of switch pods, so i have relays as far as the eye can see 😅🤦
Admittedly, I only recently realized that these switch panel things have internal relays. Now I’m going to recommend it to everyone I see haha.
@@tfrasca Where I find these pods not applicable is when you want a specific action to your relay, like the headlight brights activating an aux light relay
Why have a title splash screen saying never use relays again but use a system that has 6 relays?
I guess I thought “mechanical relay” was implied. This thing uses solid state relays built into the unit.
@@tfrasca I was hoping for a state of the art invention or something. I have a similar aux beam setup.
Great tutorial!!!!
May I ask how to collaborate with you and how to contact you
This would fit well in non-sunroof trucks. That whole panel is blank.
Good call. I really wish mine didn't have sunroofs. I don't know about where you live, but around here SD trucks are so rare.
I have no idea why companies think that rocker switches and switch panels need to be as bright as the sun. SMH
Yeah, this is a real annoyance. Pretty much every stereo head unit I’ve ever had has been too bright too.
7 star scale lmao wtf man
Awesomevid tha ks for the help
Great vid thanks but annoying music! Cheers.
Haha, thanks. Sorry about the music. What should I have used?
None
paint the screws
That or get some black screws. One of the two.
Too expensive!
Are there many less expensive options?
This is the way! Greetings from @ramblinglando

I tapped into the 20 amp cigarette lighter fuse.
@ so is that a constant power or no?
