Awesome. thanks for the info.

Another question for you, where did you hook up the hot wire for the switch? Cigarrette lighter? I'm thinking thats what I want to do to make sure I only turn on the light bar when the truck is on. Otherwise, not really sure where to get power for the switch unless i go to the ignition switch which requires more work.

I didn't want to use anything for power that required me to access wires under the dash that can be difficult to get to. I ran my wire to the fuse box in the passenger side footwell. It is very easy to get to. Then I used an add a circuit fuse holder and connected it to fuse F29. It is only powered when the truck is on.

Perfect, Didnt realize there was another fuse box down there. I thought there was only one in the engine bay. That makes life much easier.

how to install led light bar switch into Cabin

I bought a pair of led pods for my truck and wanted to have the switch inside my truck but couldn't find a place to insert the switch from the engine bay to the cabin

Most of us run it through the firewall where the hood release cable goes through.

I would use a relay so you don't have a live wire coming through the firewall much safer way to wire it. Easy to do.

Here is my setup.

I got the switches installed a while back, and finally got them wired up a few months ago.

I ended up going with a bussman weatherproof fuse box from Concours Specialties

Still think you should produce those, even though it's a lot of effort. Super clean.

LilMikey has started a thread saying he's looking for things to do with his 3d printer.

Might want to hit him up.

I'm good, I have my switch setup laid out, just need to figure out where the relay system should go underhood.

 

[MadSci]

Use the fuse box I did. It's an awesome compact deal, and fits right in near the battery.

There is a link in my previous post.

I would, but I've already bought the stuff to wire it, before I knew about the Bussman or the SPOD.

Not in a huge hurry, since I still need brackets fabbed for this. White/Amber 22" and 2 7" amber LED bars (Placeholders for the Diode Dynamics rally bars).

Some great ideas on here! Good job fellas

Wiring access

I have spent quite a while searching for a spot that I can get wires for auxiliary lights inside the cab to the switch for 2nd Gen Colorado/Canyon. I added cargo basket with lights built in. I am trying to get them hooked up. Will someone please share how you ran the wires inside the cab for your auxiliary lights? I know it was prob obvious to everyone else but I just cannot seen to find a opening to accomplish this. I am not well versed in this area. I suppose I could just drill a hole somewhere but I hope this isn't necessary. Vehicle is 2017 GMC Canyon Crew Cab Diesel. Suggestions and information will be very appreciated. Thank you.

Spod HD! It's awesome.

I just ordered a SwitchPros unit, they just came out with a blue backlit one instead of green. It's programmable, bluetooth for phone control, backlit with customizable labels, very easy and clean install.

Switch Pros - Home

I'm going to install over tiny pocket between heated seat switches.

Do have pictures of your install?

This will work for now
