Running cube lights without switchboard?

[GoBraves95]

Hey guys. Got some rough country cube lights with the install kit and single switch for christmas. Anything I should know about installing without connecting to an aux switch in the jeep? All of the youtube videos include an aux switch. I want to use the switch that came with the lights for now because in the next year I only plan to add one light bar in addition to these cube lights. If I ever add a steel bumper and winch I may mess with those aux switches but I don’t think that is happening within a year. Thanks!

Not sure what your problem is just run the light's and wiring, I'd put a fuze close to battery and a relay then just need to fish a trigger wire out of cab area to relay. Tap off power for switch from cigar lighter or something else hot only when running.
But I've been wiring lights and stuff (12v to include in to 24v systems) for many years, no where near experienced as Bill and many others here but it's a simple job the hard part is fishing the wiring around.

Well I hope that helped you out. I can draw it up or you can fish though some of my threads here, or response to some other threads. Some have pictures I posted.
