wire harness for Aux switches?

[wvuviv30]

Does anyone make a simple wire harness that works with for the factory aux switches using the "Power" wire under the hood/near the battery?
Bonus is if it had the 2pin Deutsch plugs for KC 6" SlimLites.

I'd rather not hack the supplied wire harness that is sent with the lights.

Something like this? Simple Aux.

no, I’m looking for the harness from the lights to the Aux switch wires.

did your lights come with Deutsch connectors?

What lights?

The AUX switches are just bare wires, no connectors. No matter what, you're going to be dealing with some wiring work to connect them up. How you do that is completely up to you. If you want to put a plug on the AUX wire that connects to the plus the lights already have, then you need to look at the information for the lights, not the AUX wires.

You can add whatever you want to the AUX wires.

They've got lots of options here for harnesses:

I know but every lighting wire harness that I see contains a switch and relay and I don't need those parts with the factory AUX switches.

I need something similar to Baja Design's 640093 harness and 613606 splitter for my 2 lights.

Or just go buy Deutch pin connectors elsewhere (like Amazon https://www.amazon.com/Deutsch-2-Pin-Connector-Housing-Terminals/dp/B0166WDCVO). Either way, they're available for you depending what route you want to take.

It sounds like you are trying to make it far more complicated than it needs to be.

There won't be any.
The aux switches feed to 2 sets of wires -
One in the right side foot well area sort of behind the glove box area to the right
One between the battery and fender (right side)

They are simply wires. There's no connecting to the aux switches directly. There's a whole system, not simply switches. You won't be able to wire directly to the switches.

Most of us either buy a fancy terminal system, or you can do like this - terminate the aux switch wires to a strip and then simply connect your accessories to the terminal strip.

My 4 aux switch wires are all here. Then on the other side of the strip I have connected my Oracle backup lights, my winch solenoid, and an accessory power panel in the bed.

Do as sharpsicle suggests then and go right from your lights over to the aux switch wires. Using a terminal strip means you can move things around as you and your truck grow together.

I might as well just hack the the perfectly good harness..

I am trying to go from the Aux Switch wires near the battery and to the KC Lights.

I've put some ditch lights up and had to hacked the supplied harness (to remove the switch and relay) for them to work with factory supplied AUX switches. I soldered and heat shrinked on to the first set of lights.

Why did you do that? You can 100% have the AUX switches toggle the relay as intended. You don't need to drive the lights directly from them.

Factory Aux’s have built in fuses and replays. Why would I need to run double relays?
