Voswitch Universal 6-Switch Relay Box Install - 100 Series Land Cruiser Overland Rig Build

We just installed a voswitch 6 relay box and some round 7" LED driving lights on our Land Cruisers ARB deluxe bullbar bumper. I have been wanting to install a rocker switch panel and relays to power up some lights on the 100 series for quite a while. I really like the spod but it is very expensive. I considered other more economical models like the trigger and s-tech. During my search I ran into the apollointech voswitch equipment on a jeep forum. It came highly recommended by that community so I decided to try it out. I purchased the apollointech voswitch 6 switch universal kit for about $150. It is remarkable similar to the spod and has many of the same features. I really like the construction of the relay box. To mount the switches in the overhead sunglasses holder I needed to buy a switch plate. I also picked up my first set of sxma led driving lights to go on the arb bumper. This is going to be a fun project and can't wait to see the results.




Voswitch Universal 6-Switch Pod/Panel Features:

  • Integrated LVCO (Low-Voltage-Cut-Off) circuit that detects the battery voltage and will cut-off at 11.0VDC and cuts-back in at 12.4VDC so there is enough juice to start your vehicle in case you left an accessory on!!!
  • Diodes to protect sensitive accessories such as LED lights from "field collapse"
  • One touch switch and six rocker switches,one touch on touch switch to turn on/off the whole unit,long touch to dim the brightness of the backlight
  • 8 gauge power leads with crimped and soldered terminal for connection to the battery
  • Plug and Play

Overhead Console Rocker Switch Wiring - 100 Series Land Cruiser Overland Rig Build

In this one we route our rocker switch wiring harness from the engine compartment through the A-Pillar and headliner to the overhead console. I also run an ignition power source from the kick panel. I broke this video out from the switch panel install since this is something that can be useful for a number of projects.

Hope you enjoy the video.

I wanted to install rocker switches in the sunglasses holder ever since I saw a thread on ih8mud.
