Who has added Aux lighting? or are any company's making a good kit.
(I know 1EV has the a pillar kit with the 4 bangers but I'm not a fan of the keyfob and $300 over the price of the lights is a bit much if im only using the bracket)

My thoughts just to hopefully spur some conversation

Mounting
  • Something could be mounted on the tow hooks on the front
    • You can find clamps on amazon for $20 but there is not a lot of clearance from the bumper
  • Pods or light bar on the roof using the existing mounting points
    • Small 3" pods should not have a drastic arow impact
    • Maybe even with something for arrow with a light bar
  • Flush mount in the center under the light bar (would be cool but dont know if there is room behind there and most will not want to cut the holes)
  • a pillar- Is anyone else making an A pillar bracket and or kit?
  • A full rack on top with integrated lights like that SEMA white truck would be cool
wiring
  • I would love to tap the auto high beams (please lets not get into opinions of when lights should be used)
    • seems like the back of the headlights might be tricky to get to
  • has anyone added a switch inside yet? easy to do, just wondering where would be cleanest
  • Do we think that there will ever be a OTA update that gives us on screen aux switches (maybe to a spare in the fusebox)
  • We could even tap into the signal for the fogs as they require action in odder to turn them on every time
    • this would also give an nice indicator on the dash and need no additional switch.
  • anyone run power to the roof yet?

FYI we have a non-keyfob version too....in cab switch.

here is the close-up of the switch:

....I added a kit, minus relay / harness / switch. Drops the price down to $472. This is for the customer who wants to do their own thing for wiring / switches / control. This $472 kit includes a set of mating connectors for the lights, so you and properly make your harness and avoid 'splices'
