I’m in need of a switch panel for an upcoming mod to my LC250. I only need 2 switches at this time (could get away with one) so I could just use the available blanks in the dash with OEM switches but I’m thinking I’ll install a panel and be ready for anything the future brings.

Diode Dynamics
Auxbeam

Some major players above. I’m sure I’m missing some. Who’s got experience with any of these or others? Likes and dislikes. I’ve got CarPlay of course so I can use that interface. Not sure how much that appeals to me over an actual switch. If I’m not using CarPlay it’s a few screens away from getting to an app.
Then there’s the Switch-Pros kit I have currently sitting in a box ready to go for my 80-Series along with a Wit’s End mounting kit for the factory ash try area. This has admittedly been sitting in my shop for a very long time. Slee has LC250 install brackets so this would be my easy button as all I need are some LC250 mounting accessories.
I plan to keep my LC250 until it wears out. So that is my expectation of the switch panel also. Long term reliability. A clean install is highly desirable. I like a stock look. I can do this with the Switch-Pros. I have not searched the others yet. The OEM battery in the LC250 is small. The truck can sense voltage draw. So the ability to activate lights with my phone and run them in camp probably not high on my feature list with the 250. On the 80 maybe but that’s a different discussion.
