My previous switch panel from a company called Voswitch got fried after a trip to Windrock where we did some deep water fording so I needed a replacement.
I was on a budget but definitely wanted something that was waterproof so that this didn't happen again and I stumbled onto the Newly redesigned ‪@Auxbeam‬ RGB switch panel!
This little thing is AWESOME because the latest system can be operated via switch panel or smartphone. It’s not limited to just controlling the “ON/OFF” of the LED Lights or electrical devices.
The COOLEST function is being able to turn on your lights with your phone while you're outside of the vehicle!
RGB function lets you change the backlight color to match your ride so overall you get a TON of functions for under $300.
If You enter the CODE: "DSO1" at check out it will save you 15% OFF!

For those wondering about lights that have multiple modes (white, amber, strobe) You can 100% wire it up to work but it takes the space of another button (switch/unit/gang) all you have to do is wire up the lights to one gang like normal then wire the yellow wire to another gang (that’s negative daisy chained to the first) and switch the second (yellow wire gang) it on and off to switch modes. I just tried it with a rocker switch and it works. The power from the “yellow wire” to a rocker switch switches modes but you then have to switch it on then off or it will revert back to solid white. It tricks the first switch into mode selection. But you have to switch it back off once the desired mode is achieved or it will revert back to solid white (first setting).

The switch panel I went with was AW Direct code 3 6 switch panel. Main reason is I drove wrecker for a very long time and I’ve never had an issue with them in our fleet. I’m loyal to what works. Not saying there’s anything wrong with other stuff. I just like AW Direct for recovery gear and electronics

I have an OCD level collection of electric connectors, from ferrules, to weather pack and molex plugs along with a variety of different gauges/colors of wires, marine crimp connectors, hundreds of feet of different sizes and types of heat shrink, an ever growing collection of wire looms and all the tools to pin/plug/crimp/solder and test it. I don’t do a ton of wiring but I just can’t make myself do anything without doing it “right”!

@@DownSouth_Adventures Awesome. Good to know. Lighting is on the list for the build. It’s definitely a process getting everything setup in your rig. Still have more to go but I have only had the Red Beast Wagon for a couple of months. Coming up next in a few weeks (waiting for mfg and shipping) I will be installing some frame mounted White Knuckle Offroad rock sliders on the Beast. Those will be awesome and will definitely support the weight of the truck. Each slider weighs in at 150+ lbs using 1/4” structural tubing (2x4 and 2x2), 1/2” plate and 3/16” outer tubing. Also, about to get all of my camping gear acquired for this first phase and then go out for some off the grid camping while offroading.

AuxBeam has instructions on making custom labels on their website. Second, I add shore power plugs to my vehicles, and wire a fixed mount trickle charger, and since I’m in cold country, I wire in the block heater, glue on heater pads for the transmission and transfer case, and on my diesel the fuel tank, through a on at 32F, off at 35F thermal switch. Batteries are always topped off, and rigs are ready to fire up even when it hits -30F.

Few questions for you. 1.) what brand roof lightbar is that? I like how it switches from white to yellow 2.) How did you wire the lightbar to the Auxbeam so that you can use 2 of the switches, one for white and one for yellow? I would assume that the lightbar originally came with its own rocker switch for white & yellow. So how did it get wired to Auxbeam? I want to do the same but not sure how to wire it. Appreciate your videos.
@DownSouth_Adventures
@DownSouth_Adventures Год назад
To answer the first question it is the rough country black series and I absolutely love this light bar. I just wired the light bar to two separate switches on the switch pod.
