Looking for opinions / experience with multiple lighting mods.

[GOCAMPN]

Hey all, after some reading I figured it was still best to start my own question here and keep it all in one thread. I will have a few lighting mods installed at once and I would like your input. I'm trying to make sure all these will work together. If you see a better way I'm all ears.

1: I want to add some pre-runner lights to the grille, from what I understand if I buy this from Quadratec it's plug and play with the headlight control knob to the left of the steering wheel? I have Max Tow so the fender lights are always on unless I'm signaling a turn when the knob is all the way left(1), one click over turns on the taillights and the fender lights will stay illuminated when signaling(2), one more click over turns on the headlights(3). I do not have the LED lighting package.

So the pre-runner lights should be off in position 1, and on in positions 2 and 3 correct?

2: I want to run my short LED bar 2020 Jeep Gladiator 13.5 LED Light Bar | Rugged Ridge behind my grille and add 4 LED pods 2020 Jeep Gladiator 3 LED Cube Lights | Rugged Ridge on my future roof rack. Can I run all of these to the same aux switch? Should I keep them to the low amp or high amp switch? Not sure if it matters but the roof rack wire to the 4 pods is going to be like 12ft long or more to reach the engine bay.

3: I want to add a small work light or something to illuminate my bed better. Is it possible to tap into the existing bed lighting wires so that it activates when I hit the button for those? I'll probably use 1 more of those LED pods I mentioned above, or something similar. It doesn't matter to me that every time I open my doors a bright LED is going to turn on in the bed.

4: I will also be running rock lights on one of my low amp aux switches. 2020 Jeep Gladiator Rock Light Kit | Rugged Ridge

5: I want to add some sort of chase light to the rear of my future bed rack, probably LED. This leaves me out of low amp aux switches, is it possible to just swap a lower amp fuse in the remaining 2 switches to make those effectively low amp switches now? Without doing anything else but swapping a fuse out.

Following. I'd like to see what some of the responses are as I'm interested in doing some of the same.

I ran a wire from the battery to the bed under the Gladiator to a switchbox I made with 3 switches for (1) side light, (2) rear lights (2 of them), and (3) other side light - no need to use an Aux switch for it. Just put an inline fuse and you're good to go...

Ok, update here.

I decided not to go for the "Pre-runner" lights in the grille and instead run amber covers on a couple of my roof rack LED cubes. Right now I have Aux 1 for my LED grille bar, Aux 2 empty, Aux 3 Amber cubes, Aux 4 rock lights. I still plan to add a work light in the bed and tie it into the wiring for the two stock lights that are already back there so I can just use the little button on the headlight knob.

As of right now my bed rack and chase lights are on hold, not sure the direction I want to go yet with the remainder of this build.

Edit: Here are the covers I used that fit the cubes, the link should also show you a drop down list of other shapes/sizes. 2020 Jeep Gladiator LED Light Covers | Rugged Ridge
