Spotlight switch location

[turbovich]

I'm installing a 12 inch 60watt light bar. Where would one locate switch , within cab ?. Thankyou.

Could always wire it to the fog light switch. I think it'd be strong enough to power both or could disable the fog lights.

Got no fog lights or fog light switch.

Get a fascia with the spotlight switch and use that with a home made harness and relay. Or just hide a switch under the dash.

Might just do that. Cheers

Was fog lights an option ? As in, not all headlight switches from factory have the ability to extend/retract ?

The wiring for the fog lights is there even if the fog lights weren't fitted at the factory, well it was in my series 1 VYS. I just bought a new light switch with the pull out function and took out the faux air vents and fitted fog lamps.

It should be easy to fit the correct switch and pick up the power from the fog lamp wiring that is sitting behind the bumper area. There is a plug on both sides just in front of the wheel arch area. They're quite obvious with the bumper removed.

So....Ive installed my light bar. Going to mount seperate switch. Where have you guys been installing yours?. No, I'm not utilising fog light option. So independent diy toggle one.
