Lighting switches for those with NO Aux switches?

[NC_Pinz]

What is everyone that don't have Aux switches doing for lighting switches? Mine was an abandoned order and didn't come with Aux switches. I'm looking at adding fog lights to augment my upfront lighting and may add something in the rear as well as interior.

Let me know what you're using and how it is working for you.

I purchased the ford front/rear fog light switch and use that for my light bar and ditch lights. But I have a high package so I already had the wiring for the fog lights in the bumper.

We install quite a few of these at our shop. We're also running one in our Bronco since it didn't come with switches:

I put this in my Samurai. Have it hooked to my compressor, front/rear air lockers, backup camera, lights, etc. It’s an S-Pod knockoff but it’s been working great for about year now for less $$$.

You can mount the panel where ever, but wonder if it would fit up there in the sun glasses holder for that “Aux Switch” experience?

Well, you can get a few of these and mount them under the dash....

Been a while since I checked that thread, but isn’t there still a chance some module / computer thing won’t talk to the new fuse box and/or switches?

No problems that i have heard of, It is all hard wired and I do not think it even goes thru the BCM But it will require the replacement of the Engine fuse block as the ones that did not come with AUX switch do not have pins in the slots needed for the AUX lighting. I just went with the Switch Pros S9100 for mine since the dealer dropped the AUX on my order.

Not suitable for my '75 so I think I'll pass for the '22. Thanks though...

I'm a total newbie - but I have the same package. Can you use this existing wiring/switch to add additional lights?

If you have the same package then no you don’t have a fog light switch standard.
If you buy the fog light switch with the front and rear fog buttons yes you can. The wires are there for front fogs right under the front recovery points. Just have to turn them on with forscan. The rear there is a diagram somewhere that shows what wire is the correct one coming out of the bcm for the rear fog lights. I used that for a trigger wire to a relay for my ditch lights. Again turning the rear fogs on with forscan.

Got it, on mine i just push in the lights button and it turns on the fog lights in the front - I can run additionally wiring to that if I wanted to put on more lights?

Oh I suppose you can I would still use a relay and just trigger it with that. You don’t want to overload the circuit. I have the mod bumper so I didn’t have fogs or the switch from the factory.
