Had a busy day today. Installed skid plates, then installed a Garmin powerswitch, CBI offroad pillar mounts and ditch lights.

Pretty pleased with my wiring job.

For those that don't know- the powerswitch allows you to control up to 6 aux devices using you phone or android auto- the main plus being you don't need to run wires through the firewall and can use the vehicles screen to turn you gear on and off.

Bit pricey, but worth it imo.

How did you get the lights to work off the infotainment system

So the switch panel I used (Garmin powerswitch) is controlled by your phone.
Much like spotify, apple maps, google maps ect both android auto and apple car play can display the app on your infotainment system. It's an easy clean way of controlling accessories without having to route wires through the firewall and have a physical switch. The downside is you need to navigate to the app to control your stuff. Which isn't a huge issue for me tbh, though I definitely prefer physical switches over what I did.
You can also hook up the unit to other circuits that can trigger certain functions.
For example, I could hook up to my high beam circuit so that when I turn on the stock high beams it triggers spotlights/ ditch lights- kinda like a relay
