I can't find the wiring diagram that came with the switches so I pulled this from OTRATTW's website. I'm pretty sure this is the right one for the dual led lit switches I have. I don't have any pics of the back of just the switch but I attached a shot after I installed them and hooked up my homemade wiring harness. I chose amber for the independent led and green for the dependent. I hooked it up to test them by them chickened out about tapping into the dash lights so I am currently running them as single led switches. With the harness I have made all I have to do to have the amber light come in with the dash cluster is tap the wire I have coming from the harness I to my dash lights. I'll probably work up the courage eventually but I fear for my warranty. Hope his helps

Few more ideas here. I have an sPod and 5 anti-vandal switches on my center console (see post #8)

I have done the exact same thing. With my homemade harness I have the wires ready to hook to the dash light factory wires, but can't get the courage to tie into it. Maybe once the jeep is a few years older ill do it.
