Which Aux switches for oracle grille letter lights and fog lights

[dejones64]

I used the relays that were included also and only use the switches as on/off

Seeking help please. How do I go about using the harness that came with the lights (see pic), has switch, relay and fuse; utilizing an Aux switch for just on/off. Thanks.

Turn the switch to on and leave it under the hood zip tied up. Ground to a bolt under the hood (there are several to choose from)red to the aux wire you want to utilize.

Thanks I'll give it a go. I take it the black/ground and the relay can go to the same bolt? Then the red that goes to the battery goes to the Aux wire. No need to cut any wire?

Correct. Only need to cut the wires if you don’t like how long they are

Thanks! Worked like a charm.

Should someone else be interested... wasnt sure where best to post but... I love my Oracle BRONCO replacement letters but I thought they were a bit too bright and tough to read. I know Oracle has a variable dimmer but... I found these online (eBay, Amazon, etc) and for $1.23 on eBay - that included shipping - i grabbed one. It works great so far! I can dim just a few settings down from high (has 8 levels of brightness) but it also has some other options like gradual change, signal light, strobe, breathe, candlelight (best for AUX switch use probably vs always on/DRL). It has a memory so it recalls the last setting even without constant power. I stuffed mine under the hood inline to the LEDs by firewall near the aux leads. This thing is the size of your pinky or smaller. Your mileage may vary and buyer beware for any long term effects or potential impact to the Oracle warranty. Works for me!

Voltage: 12V, Max Load: 12A (144W)
Size: 42x12x3mm

Do you have to switch the power on with the dimmer switch each time or does it come back on when you flip your upfitter switch?

it comes on as it was set before (eg; Dim Level 6). I only use the AUX (6) switch.

Thanks! I think I'll order it, too.
