I placed the same 2 switches here.......

Thats a nice clean look! Question time... Where did you get the housing for the switches? How does it mount? Also link for that USB port?

Question time is over.

Hammer time!!! Err...umm.......answer time. ?


The housing only holds 2 switches. I don't plan on adding any more so that's good enough for me.

Here's the housing...............

You can also find them on Amazon if you prefer to shop there.

The housing fits perfectly. You just have to point the holes up towards you and move the edge up towards the square openings. Once you find the perfect spot, mark the holes, drill, and use a screw with one washer and nut. You'll have a secure installation.


You will also need this...............

Not the switch, the housing it's in. Again, you can find these on Amazon.

You will need to drill a hole for the wires to come through the panel to the mount.

Here's what I used.

Get these after you make the hole.

USB port... Again Amazon has a similar port.

Hope this helps. Make sure you know what you're doing before you drill any holes.

Here we are two days later and I'm looking for another spot to mount another switch. ?

Will consider this route as a second switch location.

Mine are tied to my front fog bar, which is a button selection on one of my controllers.

All of them have their own relay channels power sources but they tie into the same trigger line on the controller.

WTF is that in your avatar!?! You got a Chevy ZR2?! How did I miss that? Thought you were going for Raptor?

Looking forward to see your work. ?



If you watch this video......you'll have an idea on how to remove the panel.




I was considering on purchasing the LightForce panel. Thing is, I wanted to use the original switches instead.

I had one of these sitting in a cart for months, and never pulled the trigger. May revisit now... and buy a replacement fuse panel cover. ?

I have the following switch for my SS3 ditch lights: https://www.diodedynamics.com/light-duty-dual-output-offroad-wiring-harness.html

However, right now it’s sorta just dangling there. How has everyone else mounted their switch?

Had my ditch lights wired up to my SP9100 Switch-Pros. The wiring harness toggle switch was thus not required. Love those Amber Backlight SS3 Ditch lights.

they look nice how do they work?

The DD SS3 Ditech lights, Amber backlight, are switched on (either backlight or main beam) by one of two Switch-Pros 9100 buttons.
I thoroughly recommend DD lighting products.
