Choosing switches and electrical accessories
Good switching separates a tidy 4x4 electrical setup from a tangle of wiring. Start by listing everything you want to control, such as driving lights, light bars and compressors, then choose switches rated for the current each circuit draws. Sealed rocker switches are worth considering for gear that will cop dust and moisture.
Piggyback adaptors and vehicle-specific looms make for a much cleaner install than cutting into factory wiring, and they are simpler to remove later. Narva, Piranha, HardKorr, Low Voltage and Bushranger all feature in this range, and the team at our Burwood workshop can wire everything in properly if you would rather not tackle it yourself.
Switches and accessories FAQs
What should I look for in a 4x4 switch?
Check the voltage and current rating against the accessory you are powering, and look for sealed designs where dust or water is likely. Panel shape matters too, since many switches suit standard rocker cutouts.
What is a piggyback adaptor?
It is a plug-in harness that connects between your vehicle's factory wiring and an accessory, so you can power driving lights without cutting original looms. They are made for specific makes and models, so match the adaptor to your exact vehicle.
