    Just got some lighting products in to include Rigid and a few other companies. I love the OEM switch look and have plenty of open slots in my truck that aren't used. I know running through the firewall is a PIA but I like the look. I have a total of

    2- A-pillars
    1- 20" light bar
    1- 30" light bar

    And will be getting 1 40 or 50 inch light bar later on along with rocker lights.

    So should I continue to want to run them all individually or should I just get 1 switch board to hook them all.up too?

    Saw this on YouTube and looks like a legit setup

    I do know switch pros is probably the best thing but I don't have all the lighting I'm gonna do yet either.

    It’s not that hard to get through the firewall. Look where the steering shaft goes through, surrounded by rubber. There’s a nub on that rubber piece you can cut off, and then use a straightened coat hanger as your pull cord. The switches are just controlling a relay so you can use fairly small wiring. You can buy multi strand wires that will have enough for a positive, and all your relay trigger wires.

    get the switch pros and then you add to it as you go.. Id stay away from the cheaper alternatives.

    Id also steer away from the 40-50in bar if you are putting it above the windshield- too much noise and hassle.

    Well the 40-50 inch light bar will be installed on a Fab four roof rack so not on brackets.

    And yes the switch pros looks awesome and superior to the trigger controller. But I do like the idea of the trigger controller just not the cheap switch board.

    I counted a total of 7 unused slots last night in my dash for aftermarket switches so just trying to decide.
