    Hello, trying to help one of my buddies wire up his Auxbeam switch panel and FCK light pods on his 2017 1794. Currently it came with a rocker switch, but we wanted to wire it into the switch panel if possible. The lights can change color and mode by turning the switch off and back on. First on is solid white, after turning off and back on goes to strobe white, then to solid amber, then strobe amber. I was wondering if there is any way to wire these into the switch panel and possibly separate the colors to individual switches so that yellow or white can be site by a button instead of having to turn them off and on 3-4 times. I took pics of most of it, if I need to take more or anything detailed I can. Thank you

    If you're using the Auxbeam, you don't need the switch and relay harness, as the controller has built in solid state relays (kinda the whole point of using them...). Just make sure you're using a channel with a high enough power rating for the devices you're connecting and run positive and negative to the pods.

    That switch is just a standard rocker. Black should be negative, white is hot power, blue supplies the pods. There's nothing to control the color separately. You'd just hit the power button for the channel on the Auxbeam to cycle the colors.

    Got it. Do I need to run both of the positives to the same positive connector on the panel?

    Just depends on how you want them controlled, simultaneously or individually. Each pos/neg pair is its own channel/button on the pad.
