I’m admittedly stingy when committing anything to my aux switches and try to maximize the power each has available to them. I’ll be wiring four 4” cube spot lights (rated for 12A total) mounted to the cowl to one of the 15A switches this weekend. I might wire up two more on the bumper but I’d have to bump up to one of the 40A switches.

What do you have wired up to your aux switches and are you miserly like me?

Not necessarily miserly, just don't have a shitload of electrical accessories...
I put my halos on #2.

#1 - nothing
#2 - 12v outlet and USB charging outlets in truck bed
#3 - winch solenoid
#4 - Oracle backup lights in the rear bumper (wired to work in reverse or with aux switch)

Don't really "need" the bed outlet and USB charging on a switch but since it's available, it's nice to not have power back there all the time.

I just don't have a lot of electric stuff or even the true NEED for much more.
If I had a compressor, I'd likely use a switch for that but no immediate plans - this is Iowa, no sand, no rocks.

I put my 4 cowl lights on #3 and #4 15 amp aux switches. Mainly because they have flood as well as DRL. This way I can run the lower DRL on one aux if I want on a cloudy day, etc. (#3) and the flood on the other aux off road (#4). Saving the other 2 aux for winch and possibly lights on front bumper.

My compressor is portable VIAIR so no need there for a switch

I thought about using them as a 4 bit binary code to disable the vehicle
That could end up being like "congratulations on your purchase of this Blu-ray player. Instructions for connection and operation are on the included disk."

Nothing on them yet, but I am considering allocating three of them to lights. Left/right/rear 'scene' lighting.
