    For the underbody/running boards lighting, want to do a matching-illumination 3-way switch just like interior and cargo lights, so off is off, middle is 'works with door', and 'on' is on (independent of other lights).

    Didn't see anything with Air On Board...am I just missing it, or is there something else I can try? Swapping out LEDs and resistors on a dark blue switch means I buy an 8-pack of switches and hope I figure it out before they're all cooked...

    Appreciate any help!

    Alot of them
    The link referenced by @APalmTree was my nightmare lol. For my switch setup, A is On, center is off, and B is auto which is triggered when I go into reverse. The only that I don't have currently is the amber light when the switch is in either position. I haven't messed with relays as mentioned in the thread. Its a future project.

    Thanks! I searched, found the great write-up on replacing the LEDs, but didn't see this one!
