Toyota LC200 auxilary lights and electrical

Part 1/2
My first post here:

Over the past few weeks, I've been doing quite a bit of electrical work on two LC200s. My dad and I both have 4.5L diesel Land Cruisers, and I wanted to simplify the auxiliary electrical setup in both cars. Now, all the added electrical components are virtually identical in both vehicles.

The setup is based on a Chinese relay/fuse box and an 8-gang switch panel (similar to Auxbeam). Don’t worry, I rewired the connections for the relay/fuse box.

I started the project by creating a simple wiring diagram (file attached).

Both Land Cruisers have an LED panel, a pair of round lights, and a pair of auxiliary reverse lights.

We wanted the forward-facing lights to only work when the high beams are on, with the option to turn the auxiliary lights off and use just the high beams. This was achieved by wiring the lights with double relays: one controlled by the high beams and the other by the switch panel.

While working on the reverse lights, I also added a junction box at the rear of the car for future installations.

The switch panel fits very neatly in the space where the ashtray used to be.

And here are more details about the factory roof rail mounted LED bar on mine:

It’s a 1005mm wide, 55mm tall, 210W LED panel with white park lights and orange flashing warning lights.

The brackets were laser-cut from 3mm steel, but after bending, they turned out just a bit too wide, so I had to modify them with an angle grinder and a TIG welder.

I ran the cables under the windshield moulding and inside the end cap of the roofrail

I like your approach, especially with the reverse lights.
