Gas strut activated switch.

I posted this in the Alu-Cab canopy thread, but thought it could be useful in the lighting section.

These are Stabilus EZ-switch gas strut activated switches that I installed on my Alu-Cab canopy door gas struts. I tied all the switches together, that way they all will activate the canopy lights from any door. I did this to make it basically impossible to leave the lights on by accident. At some point I will modify all the lights to work independently and also have a master off switch for leaving the doors open when the lights are not needed.

I also utilized one of these switches under the hood since I installed Redline hood lift struts. I removed the factory hood prop to mount the lights, since it is not needed anymore. The lights are Harbor Freight rock lights.

I have more of these switches available and will be listing them in the Marketplace if anyone is interested.

The Leer cap I had on my Ram had those switches. Nice call putting them on your Alu-Cab.

I just got a set of the redline hood struts and hadn’t considered using those switches for a hood light. That’s a brilliant idea!

I like those switches for the under hood lighting, will definitely have to look at that eventually

They have been working great and are very simple to use. I found the male connector pigtails online, which makes the install a bit cleaner and removable without removing the switch.

If you’re selling off a switch and connector bundle I might be interested just to avoid having to hunt them down myself.
