I haven't installed my three Baja Designs kit yet but might tie the Squadron white wide cornering lights to the headlights if it's easy to get to and If it'll handle the amps, install my Squadron Pro Combo and Spot lights, 4 total, on Uplifter switch 5. Reverse lights on Uplifter switch 6.

My A Pillar Ditch lights on Uplifter switch 2.

Leaving 1 for in the grill or on roof mounted lights and three and four open for maybe an air compressor and rock lights or winch.

I know the 1 & 2 or good for 15 Amps, 3 & 4 for 10 Amps and 5 & 6 for 5 Amps.

However, if I remember correctly, I think these all have their own relays built in on the 2019 anyway or am I mistaken?

I’m using the FRL harness and after some quick thought I put my most used lights starting with SAE Whites on S1 and then Amber WC on S2 and Driving Combo on S3. Since the amp rating of the these lights are still very low, I just wired them to the switch’s in the order I use them most often.

That said I would next wire backup lights most likely to S6. I like to be able to reach and flick something I need with mostly feel and not having to look.

I’m also thinking of using a switch for that tailgate release mod. Just concerned I may release it accidentally at some point. So haven’t done it yet. So the remote works!

Anyone notice any flickering? My BD sports I notice a flickering when sitting still, shining on the garage. More noticeable on the spots with the clear lenses.

Not to guess your observations, but are they flickering meaning an indifference with the light output not being constant. Or by chance they are actually shaking or loosely vibrating on the bracket mount? I would double check this and make sure the lenses are screwed on tight.

Otherwise could be a circuit or light issue.

Definitely light output. Shaking harness tapping on light makes no difference.
Assuming a driver pulsing or something.

If they’re all flickering, I’d suspect a wiring problem. If one is flickering, maybe the light but I’d still lean towards checking the wiring.
