First off, sorry for the delay in response. Job and family get in the way sometimes. Ok, back to your question, YES, in my case the placement of the panel limits the range of motion for the sun visor. The good thing is, there are plenty of options for placement, the bad thing, I like things straight (if possible). So... can I fully extend the sun visor with the placement I chose? NO Is the placement perfect for my US/ME, yes! At this point, where you start drilling and hammering at your Jeep, it is up to you what you prefer. I chose easy access, you might choose something else. Either way, there is always a give or take.
When my doors are off the control panel doesn't work at all. Trying to figure out what I did wrong. When the doors are on all of my lights work perfectly.
I am no electrician by any means (call me a software architect if you have to...), but it sounds like you picked a "bad" ground or 12v line!?!? In case you don't have one, get yourself a cheap electronic tester (*cough* harbor freight *cough*) and check why the 12v or ground wire is compromised. Hard to tell why it would stop working. In my defense, I went straight from the panel to the logic box to the battery. Completely work around the Jeep wiring.
@TrailsideTalks What your saying makes sense. I just wanted to get a second opinion. To see if it might be a simple fix or more involved. I'll definetly check my ground later on today. I have few months before I pull the doors off. Thank you!!
Well... Short answer is NO, no extensions necessary. Long answer, if you can't get 10ft of wire connected to something under the hood from the windshield, something is wrong ;)
If you install it on your dash, I would go through the firewall as well. There should be plastic grommet on the driver side you can use. I will install, soon, a Midland radio and probably have to route the antenna cable through the firewall as well.
To be honest, I did not, yet. Currently just the bright whites are connected. I will have, in the near future, a follow-up video where I connect the other 3 modes to the Auxbeam switch. That will include the addition of a couple relays in order to only allow the same options that the 2 bulky switches allow by design.
@@TrailsideTalks Thanks! I ended up getting the 6 gang and it’s fine as long as it’s not directly in my field of view. I put it in the middle of the dash.
Thank you, doing my install over the weekend.
Does the placement of the switch panel limits the range of movement of the sun visor?

@@TrailsideTalks I used the wrong fuse. I'm now using the cigarette lighter fuse.
Did you need any extension for the pod its self to reach to the bay or did you have enough cord with 10ft they gave
Well... Short answer is NO, no extensions necessary. Long answer, if you can't get 10ft of wire connected to something under the hood from the windshield, something is wrong ;)
What fuse location did you use. Didn't catch that in the video. Thanks
I assume you are talking about the low amp control wire. That would be F52, the cigarette lighter.
Would you recommend going through the firewall? Im thinking of placing the controller on the dash.
If you install it on your dash, I would go through the firewall as well. There should be plastic grommet on the driver side you can use. I will install, soon, a Midland radio and probably have to route the antenna cable through the firewall as well.
Where did you mount the relay? I didn't catch that on the video

I didn’t mean relay but the circuit breaker box. That’s my error
I just tugged it away under the Auxbeam block.
Thank you.
Muchísimas gracias por el tutorial , saludos desde mexico =)
¡Es un placer! Ahora que finalmente tenemos más luz natural, estamos haciendo más tutoriales.
Any issues with it being too bright driving at night?
Not at all! The blue LED's don't bother at all. It is very dim, even less noticeable when you put the stickers on.
