Light Switch for LED Light Bar that looks OEM

Does anyone know if there is a company I can order a switch to either replace the heated seat switch or an overhead switch that can be used for auxiliary lights such as a LED light bar?


I have been looking for one but cant find anything similar.

You're going to put a light bar on a Cayenne?

No I am actually mounting offroad leds behind the front grill and want an aux switch for them. I bought my Cayenne for towing a boat I have and for PCA events. I also plan to use my Cayenne offroad.

How about using one of the map light switches on the overhead console? I don't know about you but about the only thing I do is flip the main switch over to turn them all on. Maybe rewire one of them to turn on both map lights and use the other for the light bar.


Where in the heck are you finding room behind the grill for a bunch of lights though. Although with LED I'm sure they can be had pretty small.

I will look into it. My dad has an FJ and we were able to find like switches with logos on them. I was hoping such a thing existed for the cayennes, if not could be a big market for someone.

I noticed (again on my overhead console at least) there is actually an empty spot. Not sure what it was supposed to be for, but it's there. Should be able to buy one of the interior light switches and put it in that spot.

I don't think these little led spot lights will block to much air.







But I also saw on a toureg forum that they have a behind the bumper winch mount and I would like to find one for my cayenne.

I have those lights on my Land Rover, hardly any use, gives very little additional lighting, little to no range, just lights up the tree canopy above...... so kinda useless.

The HID on the car head lamps are far more effective + the fog light covers the bottom portion so renders those LED lamps for looking at tree canopy only.

The Cayenne is just effective off road as it is on road. According to a review I read they have multiple oil pumps and claim that if you took a Cayenne and stood it on its rear bumper the motor would still run. Which is interesting because they claim that a Land Rover can't do that. Nothing wrong with off roading a Cayenne. Like I mentioned in my earlier post I plan to use it both on the track, daily driver, and off road. While its quick its no 911
