Question: for those that used the Rugged Ridge switches, does your light stay on even when the Jeep is off? I followed the install wiring instructions and it said to connect the white wire to the battery. Now I'm thinking it's a constant draw off the battery.
Second question is, is the LED colored light on the switch meant to only be lit when the light it controls is on or is it always on?
Thanks

The bar should be lit when the light is ON.

Let me know if this works out for you

1. How is the switch functionality with them being so close to one another?
2. What Volt switches are those? are they 18v? do you specify that when ordering form OTRATTW?

My kit just arrived today from Morris 4x4. I got the RR lights, wind shield brackets, switch, and A-pillar pod. The lights and harness came with exactly 0 instructions. Can anybody help me?

And what are the details about the harness: did it come with a relay? What about a switch?
On a side-note, I just finished up my switch pod. Click here to go to the build thread.
