- Join me in the 6 month process it’s taken me to get this switch panel installed!
It’s a super cool option that’s cheaper than the Auxbeam switch panel many people use and just as good of quality!
All the parts on my tundra from Amazon are in this link as well as camping gear and tools I enjoy!

Rock lights!! They would look great on your ride. I installed them on my Subaru Crosstrek. I love ‘em.
Go Chiefs!!!
This was very helpful. I’ve been holding back installing the same unit. Thanks a lot!
You got this!
Ha…yeah I have the Nilight version and ran into the same issue of the firewall. I just cut the wire and then spliced it back together. Looks janky but I don’t mind that
Well that’s some good thinking!
Love your KC hat.. Been a fan since 1973 Your video was awesome too!! Great info.
Thanks man! Go chiefs!
Wire lub works great.
Yeah I used Vaseline and it helped! But something specific to wiring would be smart!
Congrats, that was awesome. You helped me out greatly!
So glad!!
Nice install dude, have you ever heard of trigger wireless? I have that on my Tundra, have 2 light bars that are being controlled by it. Didn't have to go through all that work that you did. It even has an app that you can use as well along with the switches. The app lets you control the light bars, has flashing mode and also to dim the bars if they're too bright.
Well shoot man where were you months ago lol that sounds great!
Hey Austin, great video. I have the same setup on my tundra. Good to see you brother
I used the trigger 4 plus. Wireless. Super easy install
Oh dang I should have too lol another guy commented that!
Which fuse did you use for the acc wire? Can't seem to find an accessory fuse to plug the acc wire to..I have a 3rd Gen tacoma
Should have tapped all the way down pass the connector. It would’ve acted as an entry assist. That’s how I did it in my titan.
Dude thanks for the close ups. I’m running a wire from my tow mirrors to the cargo fuse tap in the engine bay. This will help. Still wonder how I can run a wire into the fuse box cleanly without just setting the lid over top.
Yeah I don’t really know either, hence why I set the lid overtop lol. I think there might be a release cut in the lid for a wire to go out but it was on the wrong side for me. If not you could just trim out a small relief cut and run it out that way!
9 minutes for the damn grommet!!!
Sorry man!
How’s it holding up? Mine lasted 2 weeks and started to short out.
Oh really?? That stinks:/ mine is doing great so far! Knock on wood!
Are the buttons properly square or are they slightly rectangular? In my truck where I want to put it, it makes more sense to be sideways, so I’m hoping I can just put the stickers on sideways so they’re oriented properly…
I’ll look when I get home, I think it needs to be mounted horizontally so if that’s what you were wanting to do that would be best!
Can you switch out the higher amperage fuses on the switch panel?
Where does the ground from the bar connects to?
Question if you have one of the switches to the on position and kill the ACC power does it stay on when the ACC comes back on or no
No it does not!
@@kccreations5945 I wanna find one that does for like if someone was to hook a fuel pump or radiator fan or something that way they don’t forget to turn it on 😂
@@christophermiller6689 I mean you could run a hot fuse tap wire to a relay and on the other side of your relay have the radiator fan to it and one you turn the car on and that fuse gets power then so will the relay which will open it and power your fan!
What’s is the name of the unit you installed. I want one for my Tundra. Thanks for the video.
Click the link in the description and it’s under The Tundra parts group!
Where are you grounding your lights? It doesn’t appear that the fuse panel has a ground.
Hey man I was confused on that at first too! It’s grounded to the battery!
@Suba-roo420 yes you are correct! Ground to the truck or the negative terminal on the battery!
Delete this video before the rest of the world sees this catastrophe 🤣
What??
So for example the light bar runs to the fuse box but where are you putting the ground that comes from the light bar I see power installed into fuse box but not the lights ground I’m confused
Hey man sorry if I didn’t explain that well! I was confused when I first got it as to why there wasn’t a positive and negative slot. I grounded the lightbar wire to the battery negative terminal which is right next to my fuse box!
