The jl400 looks great. Think I’m going to order one right now!

now to decide on the lights! Leaning towards the diode dynamics ss5 pods.
I see that you can run them as accent lights which is a nice feature

My recommendation, buy the Voswitch JL400 for $200 bucks and get a nice factory looking switch in a better location than the Mopar switch.

Your's is the best picture I've seen close up of the JL400. I've been eyeing this one, but I wanted something with replaceable labels. I was thinking of using my wife's Cricut to make my own because I confirmed with VOSwitch that the other labels (like for the JL300) are not the same size.

But... looking closely at yours, it looks like the entire face is one piece and the button labels are not in any way removable. Is that accurate?

If you can be patient, wait for Black Friday.... Diode said on another thread they'll be offering their "best deals yet"... last sale was 15% off, so you can at least hope for that - which on a $700 pair of lights is $105.00 (half the price of the VOswitch you wanted to order!)

So for the factory style locations in the lower dash, the button labels are individually replaceable, both for the 6 and the 12 button versions.

For the JL400 switch in the A-pillar, the buttons are a one piece sheet, non configurable, you can still hook up anything that won't draw more than what a 30 amp fuse can handle on each circuit.

Bummer on the labels... that's my biggest gripe on the MOPAR AUX switches.

Appreciate the detailed pic as well! That was really helpful

If I didn't have the AUX switches I'd go with one of the VOswitch options (and you get custom labels which is one thing i WISH we could do on the MOPAR ones)

For lighting, I (think) am going with a pair of SS5's from Diode Dynamics mounted on my winch hoop with the driving or combo configuration.

I've also been eyeing their drop-in fog light replacements in amber

I am more worried about fog/snow than deer most of the time... although I prob just jinxed myself
I have the DD amber fogs and they are fantastic. I was also more concerned about precipitation, but outside of that they still work really well for lighting up well into the sides of the roads for spotting animals.

I just got the sport version.
