Hello all,

I am looking to add auxiliary lighting to my 2022 diesel gladiator. I am looking at the Garmin power switch, S pod or a switch pros. What is everyone's opinions on these and do you have any suggestions about mounting one on a diesel.

Haven't had experience with the aux switches you mention. I went with Voswitch and Lasfit. Each were easy to install and look good. Really liked the Lasfit for the factory look and operation with lockers. The under hood installation looks good with both also.

My sPod BantamX has been great. I like that I only have to run a Cat5 cable into the cab. I like that it shows amp usage for each switch.

Switch pros hands down. Why? because it is solid state, and it is the smallest option. This is is a big deal with these vehicles having little real estate. I have 2 of them. One for lights and things, and the second in the bed for camping things. I am pleased thus far and have had zero issues.

Never thought I would get rid of my Voswitch that looks factory down by console but the eight switch on the grab bar is pretty cool. Probably would have to replace whole setup I have. My setup controls everything including fridge ,water pump, air compressor and lights in bed, and Midland radio but I have no other lights and not sure I need any, but having the switch panel right there by handle might be enough for me to redo stuff damn it…..Jack

I've used the Voswitch JL300. I've never taken a dash off anything before, and the instructions were pretty solid. The result looks very close to factory. And it works flawlessly.

After considering what was out there I ended up with the VOSwitch JL300. I thought about the grab handle switch but figured that in my situation, 4 switches wasn't enough and 8 switches was too many for my application.

I'm really happy with it, This coming from a guy who built his own in my JK. The only con I can say about it and it's a nit picky one, is I wish the trim outline was silver like the rest of the dash trim.

I went the cheaper route and grabbed the Auxbeam setup. Zero problems with it. works as advertised. I'm a Garmin nut so I REALLY wanted to go that route but I don't have that kind of cash. I also dislike using chinese but it was the only option I could afford.
That being said, I'm about to ditch it altogether and do a custom setup with old school relays and toggle switches. I just prefer the tactile engagement of a hard throw toggle switch. Just pushing a button just doesn't give the "right feel".

I'm gonna base it off switches from Concorde Aerospace.
